These improvements are intended to create safer and more conducive learning environments, as well as enhance emergency readiness through upgraded facilities which will be managed by respective departments. This investment in infrastructure is also crucial for public health facilities, which may enhance service delivery significantly.

Summary

The bill authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds totaling up to $93,710,000 for various projects aimed at enhancing local infrastructure.
