(WJAR) — The Maura Healey administration announced a bill on Tuesday that aims to modernize public higher education in Massachusetts. She made the announcement in Bridgewater at the campus of Bridgewater State University. The $2.5 billion bill will add capital improvements to the UMass System, state universities, and community colleges.

Gov. Maura Healey is scheduled to make what her administration is calling a “major announcement” about funding for higher education in Massachusetts on Tuesday morning. The press conference and tour of the Bridgewater State University Cyber Range is scheduled for 11 a.

Gov. Maura Healey filed a $2.5 billion borrowing bill Tuesday that would dump cash into Massachusetts’ public higher education system to update aging infrastructure that the first-term Democrat argued has suffered from years of neglect.
