The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1181, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds for the establishment of a skilled trades center at the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation. Specifically, the bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of one million five hundred thousand dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Economic and Community Development, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Ashford for the development of the center.

This initiative aims to enhance vocational training and support economic development in the region by creating a facility dedicated to skilled trades. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the bond issuance and funding process for this project.
