The College of the Mainland broke ground on its new campus services building April 23 as an investment in infrastructure to support daily campus operations, according to an April 22 news release from the college.

The big picture: The nearly 22,000-square-foot facility will combine campus services, including shipping and receiving, facility services, purchasing and storage, while expanding the college’s operational capacity, according to the release. The building is funded through the college’s voter-approved 2023 bond program, which supports long-term efforts to expand access, modernize facilities, and strengthen both student services and daily operations, according to the release.

Also of note: The college also opened its corporate training center April 16 as the first project completed under the 2023 bond program, according to the college.

Texans are expected to save millions in sales taxes on emergency supplies—everything from tarps to generators—during an annual tax holiday April 25-27.

How it works: The sales tax holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. April 24 and lasts until midnight April 27.

Texans are expected to save about $2.4 million in state and local taxes, according to the comptroller’s office. Last year, Texans saved about $2.3 million, agency spokesperson Kevin Lyons said.

According to the comptroller’s office, items qualify for the tax exemption if they are priced at:

• Less than $75 for items including household batteries, fuel containers, flashlights, smoke detectors, tarps and first aid kits

• Less than $300 for hurricane shutters and emergency ladders

• Less than $3,000 for portable generators
