Hochul wants to spend $41 million to repair eastern approach steps of Capitol
ALBANY — Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a $41 million expenditure to repair the hallowed grand staircase on the front of the state Capitol.
The East-facing steps to the Capitol, which provide views looking toward the Hudson River, are set to undergo a rehabilitation that could re-open the towering but disintegrating staircase that has been closed for years due to safety concerns.
It's part of a broader proposal by Hochul to spend $242 million on infrastructure projects related to state government. State officials have budgeted on the assumption that the federal government's "Build Back Better Act" will not pass in Congress.
