Clackamas Community College bond measure #3-613
In November 2024, the voters in Clackamas approved a $120-million bond renewal. To inform this second phase of the bond, the college did a lot of research and collection of data. The college developed a concept master plan, an athletic facilities master plan and a mechanical, electrical and plumbing master plan. Projects and needs identified in those plans totaled more than $300 million. CCC formed a bond development work group of employees across the college, students and board members. Over a series of meetings, they worked to refine and prioritize the list of projects, which was then polled both internally and externally to see how the projects resonated with the college community. Using that information, we finalized the projects included in the bond measure.
