The Legislature passed a $6.3 billion capital budget Saturday, cementing a plan that includes major investments in Southwest Washington’s community and schools.
The biennial budget, which passed the House and the Senate unanimously, includes three major line items for local education facilities: $58.9 million for a new Clark College satellite campus in northern Clark County; $52.6 million for a new life sciences building at Washington State University Vancouver; and $55.1 million to the Washington School for the Deaf for a new academic and physical education building.
