Bill > S534

This bill provides specific capital improvement funding for two universities within North Carolina's public university system. The legislation appropriates $237.5 million from the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, with $125 million allocated to North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University (NCA&T) for constructing an Agricultural Research Classroom, and $112.5 million designated to Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) for developing a new Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Complex. The funding is nonrecurring, meaning it is a one-time appropriation specifically intended for these capital projects. The bill stipulates that these funds will be distributed through the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina, and the appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025. This funding represents a significant investment in infrastructure and facilities for these two historically Black universities, potentially enhancing their research and athletic capabilities.
