Restoration is about to start again at the Mississippi Capitol, and workers will soon be putting up scaffolding around the central dome of the building.
Laura Jackson, director of the state Department of Finance and Administration, says this is a continuation of the $7.4 million exterior work that began two years ago.
Crews will repair and replace terra cotta pieces that have deteriorated around the base of the dome. Roofing will also be replaced on that part of the building. This work is expected to take about a year, and the building will remain open to the public.
