Governor Brian Kemp announced yesterday that the state of Georgia sold just over $1 billion in bonds to fund new projects.
The largest amount of funding provides over $300 million for local school systems’ K-12 and state schools projects.
The second largest amount provides over $250 million for Board of Regents projects for the University System of Georgia.
Public safety related agencies will receive close to $156 million for facilities and equipment, and over $112 million will be spent on roads, bridges and rail projects.
