Grants from the NBPSCF are funded with revenue from the North Carolina <br /> Education Lottery. Grant funds are available to eligible counties for construction of new school buildings and <br /> additions, repairs, and renovations of existing school facilities. Counties with an adjusted market value of real <br /> property less than $40 billion are eligible to apply for a NBPSCF grant. <br /> The County coordinated with both school district to submit applications for grant funding by the September 1, <br /> 2022 deadline. The NBPSCF requires a local match of up to 35%.

The total funding for this project is $30,345,528 which consists <br /> of a local match of$7,586,382 and a NBPSCF grant request of$22,759,146. <br /> The Orange County Schools (OCS) first grant application is renovation and replacement of the Central <br /> Elementary School Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and related improvements.
