Lake Michigan College (LMC) is seeking voter approval for a 0.48 mill property tax increase over 10 years to fund campus improvements. LMC serves over 7,000 students annually, including high school students, traditional college aged students, and adult learners. If approved, the modest tax increase of $2 per month for homeowners would support critical safety and security upgrades, modernizing outdated classrooms and teaching equipment, and developing new student success centers across LMC's campuses. The tax revenue would preserve existing facilities and programs while helping prepare students for in-demand jobs through expanded training opportunities. LMC currently has the 24th lowest millage rate of all Michigan community colleges and has not passed a capital millage before.
