Maricopa county voters recently approved (November 2004) $951,359,000 in General Obligation Bonds for new classroom construction, renovation, technology, parking, security and land purchases to meet future growth needs. Nearly 85% of the funds will be utilized for construction and renovation of classroom and laboratory space at all ten colleges with funding being almost evenly split between the four quadrants of the county. Every college will receive part of almost $137,000,000 to improve infrastructure, increase energy efficiency and improve technology districtwide. In addition, the Maricopa Community Colleges
will purchase land for future college development in the Southwest Phoenix/Laveen area, the Northwest Maricopa County/Surprise/Peoria area and the Southwest Maricopa County/Goodyear/Buckeye area.
