Plans for Liberty Plaza at the State Capitol
Crews start demolishing a 60-year-old parking deck across from the statehouse the week of April 28, 2014, beginning what could be a years long project to give Capitol Hill it's first major facelift since the Jimmy Carter was president. The parking area will be transformed into Liberty Plaza, a protest-rally-park area.
