Capital Visitor Center Delays
23 07 2007
Where oh where art thou new Capital Visitors center? In 1995, the cost projection was $100 million with it being ready in 1999. But the digging didn’t begin until 2002. By then, the cost had ballooned to $265 million, and the latest estimate is nearly $600 million, and the visitors center is still not done!
It is understandable that costs have risen as there have been increased demands for security, but it seems like congress has lost tabs on the situation, it’s not like they can’t monitor the progress! Look out your window congressmen!

Also on a recent trip to the area, we did not see much progress at all, so we put a call into the Project Managements office but have not heard back. Hopefully, the project is not in for some more costly delays. […]
