Marcola, Oregon (September 2018) – Marcola School District recently purchased a property near the existing campus which will be used to expand their current CTE and STEM programs of study. The property includes a home which could potentially be used for staff housing and offices and ample land for future district expansion. Additionally, there is a farm on the property which will be used to implement a farm to school/community program and advance their agriculture and FFA programs. Marcola School District selected Government Capital Corporation as the most cost effective option to provide the unique financing.
“Government Capital’s process was straightforward, simple and clear. Securing the funds for this project could have been very complex. The terms provide budget flexibility and helped avoid the cost and delay associated with traditional debt financing,” said Bill Watkins, Superintendent.
“I want to congratulate Mr. Watkins and the Board for their foresight and leadership . This will benefit the District for many years,” stated Stephanie Cates, Government Capital Client Manager.
