Rep. Gordon Hintz and Barnes scheduled to tour the planned wing renovation of the UW Oshkosh Nursing Education Building.

OSHKOSH – Today, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes will be in Oshkosh to tour the planned wing renovation of the UW Oshkosh Nursing Education Building (CLOW Hall). In early March, Governor Evers announced his 2021-23 Capital Budget proposal, which includes a recommendation of $26,974,000 for the completion of the second phase of the Nursing Education Building (Clow Hall Phase II) at UW Oshkosh. Representative Gordon Hintz issued the following statement welcoming Lt. Gov. Barnes to Oshkosh and highlighting the importance of the Clow Hall Phase II project:

“It is an honor to welcome my friend and former colleague, Lieutenant Governor Barnes, to the City of Oshkosh and the 54th Assembly District. I’m also glad to have an opportunity today to highlight the importance of completing the renovation of UW Oshkosh’s Clow Hall, which is a long overdue investment in our state’s future growth and success.”

“Over the past year, Wisconsinites have been reminded of the crucial role educators and nurses play throughout our state. We need their learning environment to reflect the advancements made in science and technology so they can receive 21st century training. I urge my colleagues on the Joint Finance Committee to approve the full Clow Hall recommendation when the Capital Budget comes before them later this spring. This cannot wait another biennium to be approved.”
