Notable projects include the construction of new facilities, upgrades to existing infrastructure, and enhancements to safety and energy efficiency. The act also outlines the authority for state officials to borrow funds as needed, with a maximum borrowing term of 30 years, and specifies the delegation of project design and construction to certain universities. Overall, the bill reflects a commitment to enhancing public infrastructure and services throughout Pennsylvania.
