I did not know this, and I guess I stand corrected, although I feel that there are likely way more govermeent related projects that come in over budget than under budget, and in some ways this one has gotten off to a rocky start as we are being delivered much less than the original idea for the same price as the original idea.

as I recall (without looking it up) the south hospital was built for twice or more of the original estimate (although I will conceded that the construction happened during the boom times which likely had a massive effect on the final price)
