The new contract will allow a new contractor, Hensel Phelps, to lead the job.

An ongoing CBS4 investigation led by Brian Maass revealed the Great Hall Project had actually turned into a debacle, leading to the firing of the previous contractor.

If the new contract is approved, construction should pick up again as soon as March. Renovations - which began in 2018 - should be complete in 2024 - three years behind the original completion date.
