text: how much does it cost to build a community college and suppy it withy faculty, teachers and administration? i need to know exact figures. i know that it is in the millions but how many millions? i need to also know a break down of how much each project will cost and does it typically come from tax payers money? there are way to many variables there to give you any real figures.  it would depend on how big of a school, what departments, where it is to be located and what support the local community and state plan on giving it.  taxpayers can pay anything from 0% to 80%.
