NIC Ed Corridor Progressing Nicely

Item: Education Corridor progresses:Construction to get under way this spring /Tala Wood, North Idaho College Sentinel

More Info: This plan comprises a joint campus for NIC, the University of Idaho and Lewis and Clark State College. The corridor is being built on the site of what was once the DeArmond Mill. The 17-acre site was purchased in 2008 for $10 million by the NIC Foundation, a nonprofit organization. The Foundation is leasing it to NIC until the college pays the cost back to the Foundation, which is expected to be in mid-2012. This annual lease is partly paid for through what is called “foregone taxes.”

Question: Would you vote for a trustee candidate for the North Idaho College board, if you knew that s/he opposed development of the Education Corridor?
