KESQ 3/17 – COD estimates Palm Springs campus could be built by at least 2026-27
On Friday, the College of the Desert board of trustees will meet to discuss bond measures, as well as future projects such as the Palm Springs campus.
COD’s Palm Springs campus has been in development since 2004 with almost $1 billion raised in tax revenue for construction, according to Palm Springs city spokeswoman Amy Blaisdell.
The proposed campus has been the source of controversy due to its long delay, even prompting the city’s mayor to call in during a COD board meeting last year to voice the community’s concerns.
