Capitol Renovation

During the Capitol renovation (January 2000), in the empty west wing, not yet occupied by contractors or workers, a water pipe separated and a flood ensued. While this occurred on the 2nd floor, water found its way to the basement. Some damage to the flooring occurred on 2nd floor, and documents stored in the basement were compromised. Restoration costs may reach $90,000.
