Explanation
(This amendment provides grants of $10.0 million each year from the general fund to Hampton University to support the Proton Beam Therapy Center. The total cost for this center is projected to be $140 million, and its economic benefits to the region will include a number of high tech jobs and personnel. An additional economic benefit will be the use of local hotels by families whose loved ones are treated at the facility. This facility will be only the fifth such facility in the United States and will serve the entire mid-Atlantic region. )
