U. of Wisconsin May Get New Buildings, Despite Tough Budget
The Wisconsin state legislature’s Joint Finance Committee has approved 36 projects in the University of Wisconsin system, the Associated Press reports.
UW System building and maintenance projects would receive $380-million in taxpayer support and another $486-million in student fees, private donations and other non-tax sources under the plan pending in the Legislature.
The committee included all 34 projects that had been recommended by the State Building Commission and added two more to the state budget at the last minute. Those were a $47-million building for the nursing school at UW-Madison and a $44-million academic building at UW-Eau Claire.
State officials said that the building projects would act as an economic stimulus.
