Moments ago, on today’s installment of this week’s proposed budget tour, Gov. Gavin Newsom dropped a bombshell for Humboldt County: His proposal will set aside an eye-popping $433 million to transform Humboldt State into a polytechnic university — the CSU system’s third.
“I am a big supporter of Cal Polys. We have two; we want to create a third. And that’s the significant investment: $433 million,” Newsom said. “We’ve been working with the Board of Trustees — the incredible new leader at the CSU — about this opportunity to revitalize the economy in Northern California around Humboldt State, and to look at this opportunity to have a third polytechnic campus.”
