What are the potential project costs? Is the $76 million in state funding sufficient to complete the project?
The $76 million state allocation is a start; however the costs to complete this project are vast and will require funding significant additional funding. The master plan team will develop a plan to assist the RCC, including the use of historic tax credits. Can I tour the Complex? Can I photograph or film the Complex? Can I conduct paranormal studies? Currently there is not public access at the Richardson Olmsted Complex. The Richardson Center Corporation does not yet own or lease the property, it is still owned by the NYS Office of General Services. There is only a limited access agreement that allows entry to the building to conduct studies, such as the Historic Structures Report, Master Plan and Architecture and Visitor Center Feasibility Study.
