Virginia Governor Tim Kaine

The bond package will be part of the two-year state budget proposal the governor is scheduled to announce Monday. That means it must be approved by the Virginia General Assembly first and then presented to voters as a referendum in November. Five years ago Virginia voters approved a similar bond referendum for $846 million with over 70% of those who went to the polls voting in favor of it.

The single biggest portion of the money wold go to Virginia Tech. Tech would get almost $118 million out of the bond. Of that, $59 million would go for construction of medical school in Roanoke, Va.

Among the other funding:
  • The University of Virginia would get $115 million from the bond.
  • Virginia Commonwealth University would get $105 million.
  • George Mason University would get about $105 million.
  • James Madison University would get almost $97 million.
  • Old Dominion University would get just over $87 million.
  • The College of William & Mary would get $84 million.
  • Norfolk State would get $79 million.
  • Christopher Newport University would get about $77 million.
  • Virginia State University would get about $73 million.
  • Radford University would get about $71 million.
  • Virginia Military Institute would get $35 million.
Details of the proposal are available online.
