State funding PMAC Renovations???

[CajunEXPRESS]

FWIW I hear we’re getting 75 million for the performing arts center.

Define we?

Isn’t that a city-parish thing?

Heard 50 mil last Wednesday.

I-49 connector is closer to happening than people think. There’s a 10% match, so it’s time to think ahead.

But our delegation is so darn parochial and reactive and as proactive as a sloth with arthritis. And dey love dem some tiggas.

Go back and see how much federal Covid money Lafayette had allocated. Then see how much has been wizzed away. Plenty to build a PAC a few times over.

About $101 million for PMAC renovations was also set aside in a last-minute amendment to the budget, though — like the library money — actually getting all of that funding will be contingent on whether the state can pay for its other higher-priority projects. About half of the money will come out of LSU's Athletics' own fees and revenue, and only $1 million from the capital outlay savings fund is likely to be paid out in the near future.

And companies awarded bids can probably use cost overrun money for nil

I believe the CajunDome was Fed money from Katrina/Rita as a refugee center.

Yes, FEMA money.

The university received $75 Million in this round of funding and $15 Million towards an important project.

Pretty sure the FEMA money was used to repair damages after using it as a shelter for about 20000 folks following Katrina. That repair work was about 2.7 million. The last big upgrade of $20 million was about 2016 and was paid for by bonds thru the Ragin Cajun Facilities.

Any coincidence football tweeted season ticket holders are getting priority seat choice in “the improved Venue?”

[R1Letterman]

Does this mean TAF doesn't give back to academics anymore
