Senate Capital Budget released

OLYMPIA -- The Senate's plan to spend some $3.6 billion on projects large and small, known as the Capital Budget, was released today with nearly $67 million for projects in Spokane County.

Among the largest Spokane-area projects are $8.5 million for the Extended Learning Center at Spokane Community College, $7.5 million for an upgrade of the water system on the Eastern Washington University campus, $5.4 million for a security electronics upgrade at Airway Heights Corrections Center and $3.9 million for a water main upgrade in southeast Spokane County.

It has $1 million for a new building for Spokane Public Radio and $240,000 for renovations at the Campbell House. 

A House version of the Capital Budget is expected later this week. After hearings and votes in both chambers, the project lists will have to match.

A complete list of Spokane County projects in the Senate proposal can be found inside the blog
