Under The Boring Co. proposal, a fleet of company-driven Teslas would use the subterranean circuit to shuttle visitors between the airport and downtown, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions.
The building was vacated in the summer of 2018 for a redesign and renovation, which included gutting the interior, shuffling and re-purposing office spaces, enhancing security, and adding a set of wide handicap-accessible ramps to the front. The roughly $40 million project was finished more than a year late, though city officials are happy with the final result.

Tomika Monterville, who starts her new job Feb. 2, impressed several City Council members last week when she was briefly introduced at a committee hearing.
