  • February 7, 2020 the Honorable Marc Elrich County Executive Executive
    February 7, 2020 The Honorable Marc Elrich County Executive Executive Office Building 101 Monroe Street Rockville, Maryland 20850 The Honorable Sidney Katz President, Montgomery County Council Stella B. Werner Council Office Building 100 Maryland Avenue Rockville, Maryland 20850 Dear Mr. Elrich and Mr. Katz: On behalf of the faculty, staff, students and alumni, thank you for your enduring commitment to our mission. Thanks to you, Montgomery College works. Your community college works to open doors to opportunity and create the skilled talent needed to drive the economy. MC works for Montgomery County to help build a just and thriving community. This year the Board of Trustees adopted an operating budget that requires no additional contribution from the County and no tuition increase for students. For FY21, the Board prioritized fiscal restraint. As a result, we seek no additional support from the taxpayers or our students. Instead, this budget maximizes existing resources to protect affordable tuition, offer additional scholarships, and provide fair and reasonable compensation increases for our employees. For FY21, the College seeks a total appropriation of $318,182,932, a slight increase of one percent over last year. With the advent of the College’s 75th anniversary, we want to take stock of our past to better plan for the future. Over the years, the College has empowered students to change their lives. Montgomery College alumni, in turn, have empowered our community by fueling the economy. We see how the College works in our alumni, including Usa Bunnag, who built a dental practice that employs people in Bethesda and Silver Spring; Sol Graham, who founded Quality Biological, Inc.

  • Montgomery College Becomes First Community College in Maryland
    Date: October 23, 2018 Media Contacts: Marcus Rosano, 240-567-4022; Vanessa Zambrano, 240-567-9186 FOR IMMEDIATE RELASE Montgomery College Becomes First Community College in Maryland and First Location in Montgomery County to Be a Designated RISE Zone Zones spur economic development and job creation around colleges, universities The Maryland Department of Commerce has approved a Regional Institution Strategic Enterprise Zone, or RISE Zone, for Montgomery College’s Germantown Campus. The designation aims to spur economic development and job creation by allowing commercial and industrial businesses that move into or expand significantly within the zones to benefit from real property and income tax credits. The College’s RISE Zone is the first for a Maryland community college and the first zone designation for Montgomery County. Businesses in targeted industries, including engineering, cybersecurity, additive manufacturing, aerospace, and biotechnology, among others, will be eligible to receive increased incentives. “These important designations will help our outstanding higher education institutions unlock more of their economic development potential,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Strengthening Maryland’s economy is one of our administration’s top priorities, and this program plays a vital role in attracting new companies, encouraging businesses to expand, and creating jobs.” The Germantown Campus RISE Zone covers approximately 28 acres. The RISE Zone designation will help the college develop its academic, business, and research campus, also known as the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science and Technology (PIC MC), more fully into an innovation district; and integrate resources between academic, businesses, and community organizations. “We appreciate the state of Maryland’s designation of Montgomery County’s first RISE Zone.
