The State Highway Administration says an $18 million makeover of a Maryland welcome center along Interstate 70 near Myersville is taking longer than expected.
The (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail reported Thursday that the project originally slated for completion in early fall won't be done until next April.
Meanwhile, state tourism chief Margot Amelia says her agency closed a temporary welcome center at the Prime Outlets shopping center in Hagerstown after a one-year lease expired at the end of May.
Amelia said the temporary center had 40,000 visitors. That's far short of the 200,000 people who visited the I-70 rest stop annually.
