TO THE POLLS AUG. 12:

3-mill increase posed to ‘begin building MATC campus in northern McClain County’

Mid-America Technology Center (MATC) is asking voters in its district to approve a 3-mill increase to its building fund in an upcoming August 12 Special Election. The proposed increase would raise MATC’s millage rate from the current 1 mill to 4 mills — just one shy of the 5-mill maximum allowed by law.

If passed, the funds will be used strictly for capital improvements, specifically to begin building a campus to better serve the northern part of McClain County.
