In addition, there was no allocation of new state funds to the operating budget.

The college will receive $6.2 million for \u201ccritical maintenance\u201d projects.\u00a0 These funds may be used for routine maintenance and some substantial renovation projects. We did not receive approval of construction funds for the Building of Applied Social Sciences, as there were no \u201cstrategic initiative\u201d funds\u2014as major building projects are referred to\u2014in the SUNY budget for any campus. It is possible that action of the Legislature and Governor before the end of the session in June will result in capital funding.\u00a0 Planning for the building will proceed on schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Hubert Keen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state budget for 2016-2017 was adopted on April 1, and the State University\u2019s budget was a part.
