The Proposal
“MSJC requests Board authorization to establish an education center to be called West center at a site adjacent to I-15 near Newport Road approximately midway between Perris, Lake Elsinore and Temecula. The district has received a donation of fifty acres of land from the John Lusk Company ina new 2,000-acre residential development called Menifee Village. Initial plans for development call for 27,875 assignable square feet (asf) of academic, administrative and support facilities in three buildings. To avoid an 18-month budget cycle delay, proposals to fund site development and working drawings for buildings are part of the 1988-89 capital outlay budget proposal reviewed by the Board in July. (Funding of these projects will not proceed without the approval of the Board of Governors and the subsequent endorsement of CPEC).”
