CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cuyahoga Community College is asking for voters for a new tax this November to expand its educational offerings and sustain day-to-day operations.

The community college will ask Cuyahoga County voters to renew a 1.9-mill tax and approve a .4-mill increase. Trustees approved the ballot measure, the college’s third in five years, on Tuesday.

The college passed a 10-year, 1.2-mill renewal and a .9-mill increase in 2014 to keep tuition low and maintain programming. Voters approved a 25-year, .5-mill property tax increase in 2017 to pay for new buildings and repairs.

Cuyahoga County residents now pay $131 a year in taxes for every $100,000 of home value for Cuyahoga Community College, versus $108 by Lake County residents for Lakeland Community College and $99 for Lorain County residents for Lorain County Community College.

The proposal would increase the Cuyahoga County bill $14 a year for every $100,000 of home value.

The money would sustain the college’s day-to-day operations while adding new programs, Tri-C spokesman John Horton wrote in an email.

That includes more tutoring, workforce development opportunities and services housed at the college’s new community access centers. The centers, announced June 23, are partnerships with nonprofits on Cleveland’s East and West sides and are designed as community “on-ramps” to Tri-C.

The typical full-time student at Tri-C, enrolled in 12 credit hours, would pay $2,748.96 per year, as of fall 2019. The school’s tuition is the lowest in Ohio.

The election is Nov. 5.
