Funding

The passage of Measure J with more than 70 percent voter approval in November 2010 provided the final financial catalyst for the collaboration between the Emery Unified School District and the City of Emeryville to create the ECCL. Funding from Measure J was targeted for two principal areas: seed funding to replace aging District facilities that do not meet 21st Century seismic safety standards and construction of facilities to provide a range of community services such as adult education, job training, after-school activities, childcare, health services, and more -- all at the same location where schools are housed – to benefit all Emeryville citizens.  In planning and development for more than 10 years, some of the initial funding for the concept and design phase of the project came from the passage of two additional funding initiatives – the 2003 parcel – which passed with 74 percent approval and the 2007 parcel tax extension which passed with 85 percent voter approval.
