According to Andy Medici’s story, the project will be pushed back at least five more years.
This comes nearly seven months after DHS announced a delay in order to form a new project itinerary.
Under the continuing resolution, the DHS was given $56 million for the $4 billion project and the requested budget for the program for fiscal year 2013 was $89 million.
DHS said that to avoid further delays and cost overruns on the DHS headquarters, the department and the General Services Administration needs at least $460 million in fiscal 2013, according to Medici’s report.
Medici cites DHS estimates, which the newspaper obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
