LBCC’s $990M bond measure could be headed to November ballot
The money would fund construction projects, including a potential housing around a new football stadium, but support for the issue has tempered.
The Long Beach Community College District Board of Trustees could vote next week to place a $990 million bond measure on the November ballot that would help finance proposed student housing projects and other renovations at the college's two campuses.
Trustees will have to decide during its Aug. 7 meeting whether to place the bond issue on the ballot to meet county deadlines to ensure that election materials are printed and mailed out in time for the Nov. 5 vote.
The board opted not to pursue a bond initiative in 2022 after polling showed voters were too concerned about inflationary pressures to support issuing more bonds for the college, which would add to property owners’ monthly mortgage payments.
