Idaho lawmakers have sent to the governor’s desk the fiscal 2018 Permanent Building Fund budget.
The House on Friday approved the $71.4 million spending plan on a 52-17 vote.
The bill includes $10 million for LCSC’s new Career-Technical Education facility in the Lewiston Orchards, as well as $10 million for the University of Idaho’s proposed Center for Agriculture, Food and Environment in the Magic Valley.
Both allocations are contingent upon an equal $10 million in matching funds before any state money is released.
The budget also includes $687,000 dollars for roof repairs at the Idaho National Guard Youth Challenge program in Pierce.
The governor is expected to sign the budget into law. (Lewiston Tribune)
