Cutrona Announces Funding for Improvements at Youngstown State University

State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) announces the State Controlling Board Monday approved a measure for funding coming to Youngstown State University (YSU). The dollars will be used for renovations at the institution.

“It’s important we invest in our STEM labs as they help educate and train our students for the future in order for them to be ready for the workforce and contribute to Ohio’s growing economy,” said Cutrona.

The measure approved today includes $806,247 in funding for improvements and renovations to several STEM Science Labs to Beecher Hall. The labs have not been updated in several years and seeks to upgrade them for support spaces to provide a safer, more accessible and updated learning environment with the latest technology and equipment that will provide our students with the greatest possible learning experience.

The funding comes from legislation that Cutrona supported during the previous General Assembly under the capital budget.

The next State Controlling Board is scheduled for May 22.
