Benicia voters will join others in Solano County Nov. 6 in deciding whether Solano Community College should issue a $348 million bond.
The money would make education at the college more affordable to more students, especially veterans and the disabled, and let the college buy new equipment and replace old, worn-out systems.
It also would give the college money to make its buildings meet both earthquake and fire safety codes, and upgrade the buildings it uses for engineering, welding, nursing, firefighter training and job placement.
