The people who keep our region running need places to learn their trades. 🔧

We’re grateful to have the Chicago Federation of Labor standing with us in support of this referendum.

For an estimated tax increase of about $1 a YEAR for the average household, we can help Moraine Valley expand and modernize training facilities for programs like welding, HVAC, automotive technology and more!

Thank you, CFL, for supporting the next generation of skilled workers. 💚

"What am I actually voting on?” Fair question.

A YES vote would authorize Moraine Valley to issue $115 million in bonds to build, equip, renovate and repair buildings on campus.

The plan is aimed at making room for growing career programs and giving students facilities that match the work they’re learning to do.
