Several Brooklyn educational institutions are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars each for repairs, upgrades, and improvements as part of a $3.1 million allocation by Borough President Eric Adams. The BP unveiled 16 school-related capital projects yesterday that will benefit from the allocation, which was packed into the city’s Fiscal Year 2015 budget.

The allocations are largely for technology upgrades, although some schools are receiving it for more general improvements.

Schools in Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, and Downtown Brooklyn are slated to receive the following:

“If you look around Downtown Brooklyn, something new is rising up every day and this is an exciting time for the borough and this area, as education and schools represent the vibrant energies of what’s coming up at this time,” said Adams.

“This budget spans the far reaches of the borough; from MetroTech to Midwood and from Bed-Stuy to Bath Beach, we are leaving no school behind. Our goal is education, education, and education.”
