The draft lowers the 1977-79 construction budget to 125 million, with a goal of shaving months off projects and saving about 12 million over two years. The plan limits regents approvals, giving presidents direct work with architects and contractors, while the state architect expands staff to curb overruns. The committee dropped several incentive proposals and sought state funding tweaks for health education centers.
