Project

In House Bill 1 of the 2022 Regular Session; the Kentucky General Assembly appropriated $260 Million in bond funds to Phase 2 of the Capitol Campus Renovation.  The ongoing multi-year, multi-million-dollar renovation project involves both the State Capitol and the Capitol Annex Building.

The Capitol Building opened in 1910 and the last major work done on the dome was in 1955.  The structure of the Capitol dome will be completely rebuilt by replacing the 80-year-old terracotta tiles, installation of waterproofing, structural repairs and removing algae and other organic materials with the construction expected to be finished in 2025. 

The remainder of the Capitol Campus Renovation project will include upgrades inside the Capitol which will begin upon completion of the dome renovation. 

The entire renovation project should be concluded by the Fall of 2028.
