Albany State University students and faculty can let out a tentative sigh of relief after a $1.8 million bond proposal for engineering and design work on ASU's long-delayed Ray Charles Center was included in the House budget blueprint Tuesday afternoon. Funding for the Ray Charles Center is not the only bright spot for Southwest Georgia to be included in the state's 2011 budget plan. Rep. Ed Rynders, R-Leesburg, confirmed in a telephone interview with The Herald Tuesday that $10 million has also been included in the budget plan to secure rights-of-way for State Highway 133 in a proposed $300 million bond package for state Department of Transportation projects. Bond money for Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus and Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton were also included in the tentative 2011 budget plan. (read more at albanyherald.com)
