State budget will decide St. Lawrence County SUNY college construction projects -JACOB TIERNEY, Watertown Daily

The upcoming state budget will include long-awaited funds for SUNY construction projects and determine the status of several major endeavors at St. Lawrence County’s state colleges. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s original budget proposal suggested $500 million for college capital projects, which would be shared among all SUNY schools. The Assembly’s proposal raised this to more than $1.1 billion, while the Senate’s proposal calls for about $1.7 billion. However, none of these budgets includes what SUNY schools really want: a spending plan that maps out the next five years instead of just the year ahead. http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20140316/NEWS05/703169879
