Hundreds of state employees are poised to move off Capitol Hill by the end of 2020 so their current office complex can be razed the following year.
What happens to the site after the demolition crews leave will depend on the availability of funds, a state facilities manager told a legislative panel on Tuesday.
If the money is in place, construction will begin on a new Capitol complex building that could deliver new conference space and an area to exhibit some of the state’s historical and cultural treasures. If not, the state’s backup plan is to landscape the site and let it go dormant until it has enough cash for the construction project.
