Valin Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Washington Free Beacon: Alyssa Canobbio May 28, 2015 The State Department has undertaken the costly construction of new embassies across the globe. The new embassy in London is estimated to cost around $1 billion. Glass for the London build was shipped back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean for cutting and framing. The new Afghanistan embassy exceeded $150 million. (Snip) ‘The State Department changed the way that they build these,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah). “They went from standard embassy designs, which were coming in under budget. They were coming in swifter. They are now to the point where they’ve got a new process and it’s much more expensive and a lot slower.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
