Regents Seek $23 Million Biennial Building Appropriation
The State Board of Regents voted to ask the legislature for a 23 million dollar standing appropriation per biennium to finance a long range building program. They will retain the 10 year 103,864,240 plan adopted in 1961, adding 10 million in special repairs and alterations. The 1961 legislature provided 2,447,440 toward the program, leaving about 8% million of the original plan to expand to 92 million with repairs. Four biennia of 23 million each would be needed to complete the program by 1971. The board rejected a new 140 million capital improvements plan proposed for the next decade.
