The Northwest College board has approved a plan to raise $5 million for a new classroom building from four sources, and none involve raising taxes. Trustees agreed on the plan last week. It calls for taking $2 million from the college's reserves, charging students a $5-per-credit fee beginning next year, borrowing about $1.2 million from a Park County financial institution and getting $1.2 million through donations to the NWC Foundation. Four trustees voted in favor. The other three were absent. The $5 million is what the college needs to get nearly $9.4 million the Legislature set aside for the proposed Yellowstone Academic and Workforce Services Building. It would have nearly 50,000 square feet including classrooms, labs, faculty offices and a 300-seat conference facility.
