GOVERNOR
MEETS WITH ABAC PRESIDENT
TIFTON—Georgia
Governor Sonny Perdue took a close look at the new Front of Campus Project
during a visit on Tuesday to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
Perdue
was on campus for a meeting and took time to talk with ABAC President David
Bridges about the renovation project involving Tift Hall, the oldest building
on the ABAC campus.
“We
appreciate very much the Governor’s support for this project when the initial
funding came through several months ago, and we certainly need his continued
support,” Bridges said. “He has been a great friend to this College for a
long time.”
Greenline
Architecture has already produced preliminary plans for the renovation of Tift
Hall, and J.T. Turner Construction has fenced off the entire area.
The Georgia legislature
approved $6 million toward the project through a bond sale.
“We
will start with Tift Hall,” Bridges said. “We’ll be seeking the funding
for Lewis and Herring during the upcoming legislative session.”
