STATEMENT

 

    This bill appropriates $50,250 from the “Jobs, Education and Competitiveness Fund” to Caldwell College for the construction of an academic building on the former site of the College Greenhouse. Caldwell College’s original allocation under the bond act was $750,000 which was appropriated under P.L 1990, c. 126. As a result of the closing of Upsala College, the Commission on Higher Education has approved the reallocation of Upsala College’s share of bond funds, $900,000, among the 14 independent colleges. This reallocation of JEC funds to Caldwell College increases its total allocation to $800,250.

 

 

                             

 

Appropriates $50,250 from the “Jobs, Education and Competitiveness Bond Act of 1988" to the Commission on Higher Education for Caldwell College.
