Bill > S2442

This bill provides for a program to protect, repair, and improve the capital facilities of the Commonwealth, as well as a program of capital asset acquisitions, dispositions, and other improvements for general government operations. It authorizes the expenditure of $600 million, including $400 million for the design and construction of a new facility for the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke and $200 million for increasing geographic equity and accessibility related to the continuum of long-term care services, including mental health and substance use and recovery services, for the Commonwealth's veterans not primarily served by the Soldiers' Homes in Chelsea or Holyoke. The bill establishes various requirements and oversight measures for the projects, including the creation of an access, inclusion, and diversity committee, and sets participation goals for minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses.
