Presentation Notes
LMC has raised $16 million since 2013. $7.6 through Campaign for Tomorrow , 8.5 m from State Grants. We have also set aside $24 million in general funds to minimize the burden on taxpayers.
Capital Millage Proposal November 8 election 0.48 mills for 10 years Cost to property owner with a $50,000 taxable value
($100,000 market value) =
$2 per month, or $24 per year
LMC’s Current Millage 1.78 mills – 24th lowest of 28 Michigan community colleges LMC has never had a capital millage Last increase was in 1996 (0.25 mills)

Presentation Notes
If millages passes, LMC would still rank 21st out of 28 MI Community colleges.
Why Now? Needs are immediate
Construction costs continue to rise
Interest rates are near historic lows
General election turnout gives more voters a voice
