Now that the dust is settling on the last night of the legislative session this past Monday, we have good news to report! The Legislature approved SB 115, which makes modifications to the FY 20-21 budget. This includes funding from Proposition 51 for preliminary plans and working drawings for 8 new community college projects worth $16.6 million. These projects were originally proposed to receive this funding in FY 21-22, but they were included in SB 115 to accelerate the timeline to stimulate the economy. The Governor has until September 30 to sign or veto SB 115. [UPDATE: The Governor signed SB 115 on Sept. 9, 2020.] The new projects include: Mt. San Antonio CCD – Mt.
