College maintenance projects update campuses, stimulate economy
A note from our friends at Mt. Hood Community College. Worth noting: the last maintenance project out our way, yea!
As part of the 2009 Oregon Economic Stimulus Program, or Go Oregon!, Mt. Hood Community College recently received $3.85 million to use toward deferred maintenance projects.
In addition to improving the College’s facilities, the funds will help stimulate the local economy by providing employment.
