State Rep. Richard Adams...
House Passage
of Capital Appropriation Bill H.B. 482 includes funding for Miami
County projects
COLUMBUS—State Representative Richard Adams (R-79th District) has
announced the bipartisan passage of House Bill 482 from the Ohio House
of Representatives. House Bill 482 makes capital appropriations
totaling more than $1.7 billion for the fiscal year 2013-2014 biennium
while also making other changes that impact the operation of state
programs.
The capital budget invests $400 million in Ohio universities,
demonstrating that education is a priority for the Ohio House. Locally,
the legislation appropriates more than $1 million to Edison Community
College for various repair and improvement projects.
Specifically, $310,000 will be used to replace the windows of West Hall
on the Piqua main campus, $150,000 will be used to replace the roof of
North Hall on the Piqua main campus, $300,000 will be used for parking
lot expansion, $270,000 will be used for projects to improve access,
and $140,000 will be used for information technology upgrades.
“As a state-supported community college, these projects represent a
good investment of state dollars in quality education programming,”
said Representative Adams. “They will ensure that the Edison Community
College buildings remain in a state of good repair, include energy
conservation features, and benefit from information technology
upgrades.”
House Bill 482 will now be sent to the Ohio Senate for further
consideration and debate.
