威斯康星州贝洛伊特. (2月. 23, 2021) ——威斯康星州政府. Tony Evers announced today that 十大菠菜台子 has been awarded a $9 million grant to renovate the college’s Robert Morse Library while creating a community outreach and engagement center. The center will serve the community while providing countless educational opportunities for 十大菠菜台子 students to prepare them for fulfilling lives marked by high achievement, personal responsibility, and public contribution in a diverse society.
Evers announced the grant at a press conference with 威斯康辛州 Department of Administration Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld and 十大菠菜台子 President Scott Bierman.
In partnership with the City of Beloit, the new center will address the needs of a community severely affected by COVID-19 while further connecting 十大菠菜台子 faculty, 工作人员, and students to provide educational opportunities.
“COVID-19 has severely disrupted the City of Beloit,” Evers said. “If we want to see our state’s families, 社区, and economy succeed for years to come, we need to make investments that spur community outreach and economic development. There’s no better place to make that investment than at 十大菠菜台子, which has such a long history of educating citizens of the world.”
“We truly believe this project will benefit all Beloit residents at a time of both great need and great opportunity,” said 十大菠菜台子 President Scott Bierman. “One more time the State of 威斯康辛州, the City of Beloit, and 十大菠菜台子 are partnering in the most effective way to promote the success of the region.“
The state, the city, and the college recently partnered on the award-winning Powerhouse student center and the Riverwalk project connecting the city with the river and the Powerhouse.
十大菠菜台子 is also committing $1 million to supplement the Neighborhood Investment Fund grant, bringing the project’s total investment to $10 million.
The renovation will begin in the summer of 2022 with an anticipated 12-month construction schedule. The project’s completion is projected for late August 2023, a full 16 months ahead of the grant deadline.
The Neighborhood Investment Fund Grant Program provides funding for projects that supply long-term benefits to 社区 while addressing negative impacts from COVID-19. The grant program is administered by the 威斯康辛州 Department of Administration and supported by up to $200 million in the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
