Florida Poly Gets $19M Boost

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:19

Florida Poly just landed a $19 million state boost—$10 million for a brand-new $85 million Student Achievement Center set to break ground next spring, plus $7.5 million to hit 3,000 students by 2030 (already ahead of schedule), and $1.5 million for operations. Governor’s veto power still looms—so this win might not be final.
