YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE VERDE VALLEY CAMPUS COTTONWOOD STUDENT APARTMENT EXPERIMENT APPEARS AT AN END – NO STUDENTS APPLIED

Verde Valley Campus trailer park appears to have rented from five to seven pads of the 10 that are available

Yavapai Community College’s Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services, Clint Ewell, addressed the District Governing Board during its February 20 meeting regarding its arrangement with the Fein Group to lease apartments in Cottonwood for students. These apartments were situated in a newly developed complex located approximately a mile from the Verde Valley Campus. Dr. Ewell disclosed that despite the College’s efforts, there was a lack of student interest as no students had chosen to rent any of the apartments. The project appears to have ended.

It is noteworthy that the Community College offered no financial incentive to students as it announced the apartment rental program. Students paid the same market rate as any other apartment renters.

The Community College administration, again according to Dr. Ewell’s address to the District Governing Board February 20, seemed satisfied with trailer park project located on the Verde Valley campus.  The Community College has been able to rent from five to seven trailer pads at the 10-space desert trailer park located on the Verde Campus. Some of the four trailers it parked there on the pads have also been rented for the first time.   (You may hear Dr. Ewell’s statement to the Governing Board by clicking here.)
