WSSU Receives Green Light by Governors for Stadium & Deck

EXCERPT:

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- UNC’s board of governors will ask state legislators in their upcoming session to approve more than $60 million in construction projects at Winston-Salem State University and UNC-Greensboro and to authorize planning for more than $100 million in future projects at WSSU and N.C. A&T State University.

All of the projects approved to move forward in the budgeting process at the governors April 13 meeting are “non-appropriated capital improvement projects,” meaning the money for them comes not from the state budget but from long-term debt repaid over time by user fees. Dorm buildings, dining halls and athletic facilities are among the projects that generally fall under that process.

Also given the green light by governors for WSSU was $7.5 million for the acquisition and renovation of Bowman Gray Stadium from the city of Winston-Salem, and $7 million for the construction of a 300-500 car parking deck near the K.R. Williams Auditorium and adjacent to the sciences campus.
