Rhode Island State House Restoration Project - October 18, 2023

In July 2023, Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee announced the State House preservation and restoration project. This video provides a visual update on its progress.

The cleaning process involves utilization of a very low-pressure nebulous mist spray focused on exterior masonry surfaces followed by a low-pressure rinse with a handheld wand. Utilizing steam, the wand will also be used for additional cleaning in areas of heavy soiling.
The cleaning project will cost $2,241,000 and be funded by the Rhode Island Capital funded Asset Protection Program (RICAP) as proposed by the Governor in his FY23 budget.
The building is 125 years old.
