WSU addresses benefits, shortcomings of Gov. Inslee’s Capital Budget plan

It was a packed House Capital Budget Committee meeting yesterday as the group convened to hear testimony regarding Gov. Inslee’s 2015-17 Capital Budget Proposal.

WSU expressed appreciation for the funding of two key projects: the Everett Academic Building and a renovation of Troy Hall in Pullman. However, the budget didn’t fully fund either request as the Everett building was shorted nearly $6.5 million and Troy Hall was underfunded by $4.3 million.

WSU highlighted the omission of  design funding for the much needed Plant Sciences Building in Pullman.
