SC Legislature Finalizes Budget
Update from the chapter Advocacy Committee. The South Carolina Legislature finalized the budget for FY22 on June 29, overriding 10 of 15 vetoes by Governor McMaster. The result of those veto overrides kept $1.3 Billion in non-recurring funds for new state and local projects, as well as another $176 Million in the Capital Reserve Fund for restoration and renovations of state buildings.
We have included a list of projects with possible opportunities for landscape architects. To stay apprised of these projects and RFP’s visit the SCEIS website and register as a state vendor. For further questions, contact Julie Cox or William Bowers.
