Statehouse Still on the Mend

Clerk of the House Greg Pappas says the statehouse is still recovering from damage done by the Great Flood of 2009.

Pappas said ServPro is still working to get all of the water out of the building and will eventually hose the basement and the first floor, which sustained the most water damage, with chemicals to prevent the growth of mold.

"As far as refurbishing those floors, there is still no decision," Pappas said.

The majority of folks who worked in the basement of the building were moved to the second floor, which most statehouse visitors know as the main floor of the building, and the fourth floor.
