New Jersey's statehouse building, part of which dates to the 1700s and was called a fire trap, is once again open after a renovation spanning almost six years and nearly $300 million in taxpayer money.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and his administration began moving back into the building last week, and work remains to be done on the building's façade. It's unclear when exactly the public will once again have access to the building.
Other changes include the addition of modern sprinkler and fire alarm systems, new heating and air conditioning, a hand-dug foundation that the building previously lacked, internal fire escape stairwells to replace exterior versions that were falling down, new windows and numerous cosmetic changes. Former Gov. Chris Christie announced the project in late 2016, saying the project was needed because the building was unsafe — he called it a "fire trap at the time.
