YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO SPEND AT LEAST $18 MILLION IN 2024-25 ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ON WEST SIDE OF COUNTY IF FEBRUARY CAPITOL BUDGET IS APPROVED AT MAY BUDGET FINAL APPROVAL MEETING

Doesn’t include $1.6 million for enterprise project, a small portion of which might affect the Verde Valley facilities

According to the draft budget provided by Dr. Clint Ewell to the District Governing Board at its February 20 meeting, approximately $18 million is allocated by the College for capital projects within the west side of the County’s College facilities, primarily focused in Prescott and Prescott Valley. Further details regarding the allocation of these funds will become available in the forthcoming months as the College proceeds with plans to potentially develop substantial permanent housing options for students, faculty, and staff, particularly in Prescott Valley and potentially in Chino Valley.

In addition to the aforementioned $18 million, the Community College plans to invest approximately $1.6 million towards enhancing internet security and addressing related issues as part of its enterprise improvement project.
