(Missourinet) Work on a four-year, $50 million project to renovate the Missouri Capitol building in Jefferson City is almost 40 percent complete. Dana Rademan Miller heads a commission that’s charged with the preservation of the structure. She says the building should be spotless when it’s finished.
“The biggest thing I think you’ll see on the exterior is the dome will be clean and the building will be sparkling. Over the years, and we knew this project was coming, they hadn’t done any cleaning.”
Five-to-eight percent of the Capitol’s stonework is being replaced because of wear and tear from weather elements over the years. The renovation project should be complete by December 2020.
