 Stacy and Janice practicing the Ribbon Cutting before the Store Grand Opening
On Monday, Sep 29, the Capitol reopened from its summer closure. While the construction is ongoing and not all areas are accessible, we have gained some significant territory!
The public is now able to access:
- Rotunda
- Senate Chamber
- Capitol Store
- Galleria
The Welcome Center is coming soon - we'll keep you updated as the official opening nears.
The House Chamber, Governor's Office, and Concourse level are still inaccessible. These will come online gradually from November-January.
It has been a busy few months, and we've added some new team members to the crew!
We don't have pictures of everyone yet, but you'll meet them in the coming weeks as folks pick up shifts and get going!
