First American Bank has partnered with Western New Mexico University in promoting the statewide General Obligation Bond C campaign.
First American Bank temporarily donated the use of its billboard on Highway 180 for the use of promoting the campaign. The billboard features artwork and messaging similar to other billboards across the state with Bond C information describing the estimated 1,350 jobs that will be created from the passage of the bond.
If passed, WNMU will receive $5 million in funding for infrastructure updates on campus including the renovation of Harlan Hall, home to the Natural Sciences Department.
The infrastructure updates will address and correct many of the on-going accessibility, risk and safety constraints that currently exist at the main campus. Funds will be used to plan, design, demolish, construct, improve, landscape and equip infrastructure.
Bond C appears on the backside of the general election ballot. Election Day is Tuesday, November 8.
