The landmark State Capitol building, completed in 1878 as a memorial to the Civil War, is crumbling and needs more than $54 million in repairs, cleaning and renovations, according to estimates that could increase by 4 percent or more annually as building officials await funding from the General Assembly. While there was an extensive, 10-year renovation that began in the late-1970s, building officials have mostly triaged problems as they occurred since then. On Tuesday, Pencz and other legislative management officials told the advisory State Capitol Preservation and Restoration Commission — a group of appointed state officials, former lawmakers and former legislative administrators — that there will be a final project plan after the General Assembly ends in June, around the time work finally starts on the leaky skylights.
