Bill > S70

This bill appropriates $2 million in nonrecurring funds from the General Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, specifically directing the grant to the Town of Wendell for the restoration and development of the old Carver School. The project, owned by Pleasant Grove Baptist Church and developed in partnership with Pleasant Grove Community Development Corporation (CDC) and Wake County, aims to transform the site into a comprehensive community center. The planned facility will include diverse amenities such as a business incubator, technology center, gymnasium, performance space, and classrooms, with initial efforts focusing on community engagement, developing construction drawings, and stabilizing the existing school building. The bill specifies that these funds will become available on July 1, 2025, and are intended to support local community development and provide resources for educational and economic opportunities in the Wendell area.
