DISTRICT SELLS INITIAL $850 MILLION

The San Diego Community College District this month successfully sold an initial $850 million of general obligation bonds following voter-approved Measure HH. The $3.5 billion bond measure, which will upgrade, repair and modernize its campuses throughout the city, secured support from more than 60% of San Diego voters last November.

Bond sales will be spread over a decade or two. Funding through the initial sale of Measure HH bonds will fund several key projects, including new, affordable, student housing at San Diego City College, an English and Student Resource Center at San Diego Mesa College, a renovated aviation facility operated by San Diego Miramar College at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in Kearny Mesa, and the expansion and renovation of San Diego College of Continuing Education’s historic Educational Cultural Complex in the Southeast San Diego community of Mountain View.
