USF Polk Campus gets PECO Nod

Posted by Bob Gernert on September 27, 2007 at 1:52 pm

This morning in Tallahassee the State University System’s Board of Governors approved the SUS PECO list including $35 million for the campus on I-4 in Lakeland.

The action fulfills the only stipulation in the $5 million gift the university received this week from the Central Florida Development Council following County Commission action. This will clear the way for the university’s application for a $5 million matching grant from the state.

Big news and big week for Polk’s new USF Campus. Congratulations!
