Construction funds for Florida universities are scarce

Oct. 5, 2011
Lack of funds puts focus on repairs rather than new space

From The Fort Myers News-Press: University officials in Florida say they will have to go to a bare-bones wish list of mainly repair and maintenance instead of new classrooms after a panel of state economists slashed estimates for available school construction money for 2012. Educators will have to slash $267 million next year, which would leave them with about $113 million in new cash for building in the fiscal year that begins July 1.
