Waller Park improvements at Florida Capitol to begin in May
Officials expect to finish the project in 2023.
In May, the Department of Management Services will begin a roughly two-year renovation project on the Florida Capitol Building’s west entrance.
The renovation plan, known as the Waller Park Improvement Project, will feature a slew of structural and aesthetic enhancements.
“When complete, the entrance will be more accessible for visitors and occupants through the construction of elevators and ramps,” DMS said. “The project will bring an increased green space to the lower plaza and will provide ample seating for visitors and occupants to enjoy. “
