[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wha???  It says nothing about this on the Murch renovation website. [/quote]

Wow, untimely and misleading post and article. Page 94 of the Mayor's proposed budget funds the Murch renovation -- they've already started drilling pilot holes on school grounds.

There is no link in the article to anything newer than the actual proposed budget. The reference to Murch is embedded in an older article referencing the mid-year reprogramming of the 5 mil that was not spent due the last delay. Old news.[/quote]

The Murch modernization was fully funded for the first time in Mayor Bowser's budget proposal, for which the community is very grateful. Design is underway and construction should start next year as outlined on the Murch website. The original article was incorrect and has been corrected:
