Some state dollars are on the way to help pay for capital improvements in Carroll.
The General Assembly amended the state’s Capital Budget Bill to include $150,000 for the Carroll County Agriculture Center.
Sen. Larry Haines, R-District 5, said that he was happy the ag center is receiving state funding this year.
Both the House and Senate each funded $7.5 million in legislative projects for the 2010 session.
According to a list of bond bills being funded, the General Assembly reviewed more than $35 million in requests.

The bond money will be used on capital improvements at the agricultural center, said Caroline Babylon, the center’s treasurer. However, the specific uses haven’t yet been decided by the center’s board, she said.
Carroll Hospital Center also was awarded $700,000 to help pay for creating extra space for Access Carroll on its campus. However, these funds were included in Gov. Martin O’Malley’s capital budget and were not considered a legislative project, said Sen. David Brinkley, R-District 4.
