Explanation

(This amendment provides a language change that ensures that the Advanced Regional Technology and Workforce Academy facility being developed by VCCS, the City of Norfolk, Norfolk Public Schools, and various private entities be jointly owned and operated, rather than be under exclusive ownership and control by VCCS. The City of Norfolk, Norfolk Public Schools, and various private entities will be providing 50 percent of the construction costs of the facility.)
