The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 204, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to fund the establishment of a skilled trades center at the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation in Ashford. The State Bond Commission would be empowered to issue bonds totaling up to one million five hundred thousand dollars, with the proceeds allocated to the Department of Economic and Community Development. This funding will be provided as a grant-in-aid to the town of Ashford for the development of the center.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to facilitate the bond issuance process. The primary aim of the legislation is to enhance vocational training opportunities in the region by creating a dedicated facility for skilled trades education.
