Two council members changed their vote from two weeks ago to approve Alexander Building Construction Company as the construction manager.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Harrisburg City Council voted 4-3 Tuesday to approve a construction manager for the Broad Street Market rebuilding project,

"Since then, I've dedicated at least a solid week of meetings to gain a better understanding of Resolution 26 in totality," Rodriguez said to explain his vote change."I met with unions, businesses, residents, association presidents, and then many, many more, to do my due diligence in regard to Resolution 26."

"My rubric was different than everybody else's," Rawls said."I have the original. They all had new copies because someone went into the system and changed a number. I will not allow you all to go down in mud. Mud sinks. I will not allow you to go down in mud because a process wasn't followed with integrity and honesty and respect."

The Mayor also hit back at criticism that Diversity and Inclusion Officer Ken Singleton was not included in the selection process for the construction manager.
