Requestor Comments: 
I will also email a follow-up letter to Marcy Scoggins, which will clarify all of the additional space requested as we need interior and exterior space. The space is the same as 2022 and the previous years. A letter will also be sent to Brenda Davis at the Capitol to present interior space requests to the appropriate people within the House and Senate. Please note that we start moving into the Capitol and setting up on the grounds the weekend prior to the event. • 216 Old Supreme Court Room • 201A • 201H • 113 • 210 • 202 • 204 • 103 • 114 • Rotunda Exterior • South Capitol Grounds • South Capitol Steps • Capitol Green Space
