I think the school is committed to $4M in funds for football facilities?

Pete and repeat here, not sure if the following is additional money, or funding that just got pushed back a year.RhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑6 years agoI'm not sure this happened and this is more money looking into all of this or if the project was pushed back. Based on the wording of the Fine Arts portion I get the sense it was pushed back and is not additional funds.

"URI Athletic and Recreation Facilities Advanced Planning – The Governor recommends $250,000 in FY 2018 university funds to engage a specialized architectural and engineering firm in planning for the removal or rehabilitation of outmoded and deteriorating athletic facilities, including the Slade Outdoor Track and Field, the Natatorium, and the grandstands at Meade Stadium."

The Meade Stadium lights and turf are in the budget as well. It doesn't appear the project is any larger than that to include East stands improvements or a video board however:
URI Meade Stadium Improvements – The Governor recommends $4.1 million from private and university funds to install artificial surface and lights on Meade Stadium. The Governor recommends expenditures of $2.0 million in FY 2019 and $2.1 million in FY 2020.
