$14m for Northern Marianas College

Northern Marianas College is receiving $13,978,909.74 in federal funding to repair and replace buildings damaged by Super Typhoon Yutu in 2018, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced. Yutu brought catastrophic damages to 13 campus buildings. Four will be repaired to pre-disaster condition by replacement of ceilings, roofs, doors, exterior walls, flooring, interior walls, lighting, fire alarm, and security systems, the local area network and computer system components, HVAC Systems, air conditioning units, and all exterior components. Because the other nine buildings suffered more than 50 percent of their market value in damage, they are eligible for complete replacement. Eleven of the College buildings will be specially reinforced to withstand future typhoon events. Congratulations, NMC.
