A new survey of state workers displaced from the state office complex in
Waterbury by Tropical Storm Irene shows that the vast majority back
a plan to renovate their former workspace.
The Shumlin administration says the options for replacing the state complex are
more expensive than they expected. But it’s possible the state’s share of the costs might
be reduced.
A new report lays out four options for what to do about the
State Office Complex in Waterbury, where flooding from
Tropical Storm Irene left many of the buildings uninhabitable. And one option in
particular appears to have a lot of appeal among some lawmakers.
Lieutenant Governor Phil Scott talks about a new report that outlines options for the State Office Complex in Waterbury and we hear about Common Cause Vermont’s new campaign contribution data base.
After
flooding from Tropical Storm Irene closed most of the State Office
Complex in Waterbury, 1,500 state workers were temporarily relocated
elsewhere. Now,
the future of those workers is
developing into a controversial issue at the Statehouse.
