8:35 am
>> they you said it. they will fund to get up to code. now the wild card is it's a state historic building. they have a tendency not to have a hairline brick out of place. you have to work with them when you're doing these retro fits and rebuilds closely. only the federal government has the resource to take a building and make it what it was and make it better.
