SPRINGFIELD, ILL. — Sept. 13, 2018 — State Senator Jil Tracy (R-Quincy) is pleased to share that millions of dollars in capital funding have been released to community colleges statewide as part of the Fiscal Year 2019 capital budget. Of those funds, Carl Sandburg College, John Wood Community College, and Spoon River College that serve students in District 47 will see over $320,000 in state funding.

“These funds are necessary for these campuses to move forward with essential repairs and updates,” said Sen. Tracy. “The capital funding was included in this year’s budget and ensures colleges can make the most basic repairs and updates, it’s essential that we continue to recognize such needs and budget accordingly.”

Every dollar we’re investing in these capital projects helps our communities deliver better service to businesses and residents. That’s how government can play a positive role in the Illinois economy.”
