Centennial Office Building and Freeman Building site improvements funding provided to prepare for future redevelopment, bonds issued, and money appropriated.
HF 3478 appropriates $12.5 million in bond proceeds for demolition, design, and site preparation at the Centennial Office Building to prepare for future redevelopment, and $1.5 million from the general fund for mechanical and electrical upgrades at the Freeman Building to relocate cellular and fiber optic infrastructure. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $12.5 million in bonds to fund the Centennial improvements, repaid through bond proceeds. These provisions directly affect state operations at the Capitol complex by enabling preparatory work for two specific building sites. The funding focuses on concrete infrastructure changes to support future redevelopment plans, without specifying the final redevelopment project.
