CPCC is requesting $46.5 million in a Mecklenburg County bond referendum on Tuesday, November 8, 2005. These bond dollars will finance the next phase of the College's strategic plan to expand access to CPCC education and training for you and our community.

• CPCC serves more than 70,000 people in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community and is recognized nationally as a leader in workforce development.
• Although square footage at CPCC has increased 23.7 percent over the past five years, enrollment has increased 25 percent over the same period.
• This growth has resulted in a continued shortage of space at the College.
• CPCC continues to grow and has critical needs for building renovations and additional space.
• CPCC operates on a lower cost per square foot than both the national educational market and the state community college average.
• CPCC has not had a bond referendum on the local ballot since 1999.
• CPCC has been a good steward of the community's money. The college has no funds remaining from previous local bonds.
