MVCTC Bond Initiative

04/17/2017

My name is Dr. Nick Weldy and I want to make you aware of our upcoming bond initiative to remodel and expand the current Miami Valley CTC campus. The safety of our students and staff is our foremost concern and we have a rare opportunity to receive approximately 47% funding from the State of Ohio for the remodeling and construction of co-fundable items such as safety upgrades, secure entrances, career-technical labs, academic classrooms, parking areas, and other shared spaces in the school. These changes will allow us to provide a safe and secure campus where both high school and adult students have equal access to high-quality facilities and training equipment that our area employers require.

In addition, part of our initiative will allow us to expand our significantly undersized facilities and accept more of the 200-300 students that we must turn away on an annual basis due to space constraints. Imagine the economic impact on our region from 200-300 more students being career and college ready each year!

To be eligible to receive funding from the State of Ohio, the MVCTC is asking for minimal local support equal to 1.43 mills, or approximately $4.17 per month on a $100,000 assessed-value home. After 10 years, this amount will drop to 1.09 mills, or approximately $3.18 per month on a $100,000 assessed-value home. In other words, for about $50 per year, we have an opportunity to receive a huge amount of state funding that we will invest in the MVCTC campus for our students and the entire Miami Valley region. 

No matter how you choose to support us, please remember to VOTE, because every vote counts!

As always, thank you for your continued support of the MVCTC and allowing us to be a part of your community.

Proud to be MVCTC!

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Nick Weldy
MVCTC Superintendent
