CGCC Moves Into Project Planning After Bond Approval

With passage of a $13 million 13-year bond in hand, Columbia Gorge Community College is moving into planning for projects to improve campus security, classrooms, labs, and technology upgrades at its campuses in The Dalles and Hood River.  CGCC is making plans to move forward with the projects in its Facilities Master Plan to provide safety, seismic, and technology infrastructure.  With facility improvements in the works, college officials say they can now take the next steps on developing new programs to meet the needs of an evolving regional economy.  CGCC Vice President of Instructional Services Dr. Jarett Gilbert says they have Agricultural Technology and Behavioral Health programs under development.  He adds both are being put together in response to workforce shortages and input from industry and economic development agencies in the Gorge.  With passage of the bond measure, CGCC becomes eligible for $5.5 million in state matching funds.
