“2. Out of this appropriation, up to $1.5 million may be used to reimburse any costs incurred by the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing for detailed facility planning to improve the likelihood of being awarded a federal grant and to shorten the implementation timeline for the development of an Advanced Manufacturing Apprentice Academy Center and four Regional Centers of Excellence.”


Explanation
(This language amendment would allow $1.5 million to be reimbursed for planning funds related to an Advanced Manufacturing Apprentice Academy Center (AMAAC) and four Regional Centers of Excellence. A federal grant is to be obtained for this purpose and previous budget language authorized $25 million in bond proceeds as a potential state contribution upon receipt of the federal grant, as certified by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) and the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM). Reimbursement would occur once a federal grant is received for this purpose.)
