Stimulus funds aid restoration of state capitol
Kansas uses Build America Bonds to finance nearly 39 million in capitol renovations starting phase four. The plan aims to cut interest costs by about 840 thousand and align with stimulus goals, though critics say the project is out of control and mostly preserves existing jobs. The 12 year, 285 million effort began in 2001 and targets completion in 2012 with underground parking and new offices added to the original scope.
