Bill > S596

This bill provides $169 million in nonrecurring funds from the State Capital and Infrastructure Fund to North Carolina Central University for critical campus infrastructure repairs during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Specifically, the funds are allocated into three main categories: $100 million for addressing HVAC, fire safety, and building code deficiencies, including repairs to plumbing, mechanical systems, and infrastructure; $9 million for campus-wide roof replacements and building envelope repairs to prevent water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration; and $60 million to replace failing electrical, water, and steam distribution systems, with the goal of preventing energy loss and replacing end-of-life components. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, and aims to comprehensively address significant infrastructure challenges across the university's campus by investing in critical repair and replacement projects.
