One Financial Victim

Here is another casualty of the economic down turn.
About five years ago I was excited to hear about the construction of a new research, training, and treatment facility, a joint venture of several universities, schools, and hospitals in the state. Since it is right next to where I work, I have watched the land being cleared and the building go up. Now that it is completed it sits empty, and its original purpose may have to change. Apparently one of the contributors (the state?) has not been able to fulfill its financial obligations and the fate of this building, like a lovely bride left at the altar, is unknown.
