The Anne Arundel County Council approved the college’s budget and funding over the summer.
The council approved an increase of $2.4 million for the college’s operating budget, which pays for the day-to-day operation of the institution. In addition, the council approved the college’s capital budget, which goes toward building projects, structure renovations, continuing campus maintenance and technology.
College officials have said they will begin the construction phase of the first through third floors of the Florestano building on West Campus and will begin the design phase of the upcoming renovations project in the Dragun building.
“We are pleased with what the budget allows us to do while maintaining operating costs and high-quality learning for our students,” Melissa Beardmore, the vice president for learning resources management, said.
