The Capitol Commission

The nine-member Commission was created by Governor Batt and the Legislature in 1998 and charged with completing a Master Plan for the restoration, refurbishment, and preservation of the State Capitol Building and its grounds, along with a funding program that combines public and private funds to implement the Master Plan.

The design team of CSHQA/Isthmus was chosen to develop the Master Plan, which was completed in 2000.

The Commission’s vision is to restore our Capitol to its original splendor.
