Students in northeast Baltimore will have a new school building when classes resume in August, following the $42.9 million construction of Furley Elementary School.

Elected officials and Baltimore City Public School administrators held a ribbon cutting Wednesday for the new school building at 5001 Sinclair Lane in Baltimore’s Frankford neighborhood.

“Today, we take another important step forward to ensure that every single Maryland child receives a world-class education,” Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement. “Education is the foundation on which we build everything else, and the cornerstone of our greatest aspirations. That’s why we are proud that the State of Maryland has invested $42.9 million for this construction project, the benefits of which will be felt for generations to come.”
