$140 Million School Infrastructure Bond Authorization

Summary

Providence is moving toward borrowing up to $140 million to build, renovate and equip school buildings across the city. The catch: the borrowing only proceeds if the state commits to covering at least 75% of the cost, and the total shrinks by any grants the city wins.
