Providence, RI- Today, Treasurer Seth Magaziner will join Rhode Island College President Frank Sanchez in touring the Clarke Science Building, which will receive an investment to upgrade facilities if voters pass bond question 1 during the special election happening now through March 2nd.
Bond question one proposes a $107.3 million infusion to Rhode Island College Clarke Science Building, URI Fine Arts Center and CCRI higher education facilities. These renovations are critical to preparing the Rhode Island workforce to compete in a 21st century economy, building a strong pipeline between employers and a talented workforce, and growing local jobs.
Earlier this month, Treasurer Magaziner launched a public awareness campaign in support of all seven bond measures on the March 2 special election ballot. Treasurer Magaziner has long been a proponent of using bonding to spur a broad-based economic recovery and with interest rates at historic lows, the proposed bond measures will put thousands of Rhode Islanders affected by the COVID-19 pandemic back to work.
