New Jersey State House renovation deadline pushed back to 2023

The deadline to complete renovations on the New Jersey State been delayed once again.
The $300 million renovation announced by former Gov. Chris Christie in late 2016 and begun soon after was supposed to take four years. In 2018, the completion date was expected to be 2022, and now Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration says it’ll be January 2023 before the renovation is done.
The Murphy administration penciled in 36 months for the completion of general contracting phase, which started in December 2019, and that work is on track, according to Treasury spokeswoman Jennifer Sciortino.
