SB 179 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

SB 179 authorizes the state to issue bonds (up to a specified amount) to fund capital improvements at Middlesex Community College in Middletown. The funds, managed by the Board of Regents for Higher Education, will be provided as a grant-in-aid directly to the college for projects like building repairs or new construction. This bill specifically affects Middlesex Community College by providing dedicated state funding for physical infrastructure upgrades. It does not alter tuition, academic programs, or college governance. The bill's mechanism is purely financial, enabling bond issuance to support campus capital needs.
