I am so very blessed
It sure looks like it has. :shrug:
It doesn't look like any measurable movement has occurred in quite a while.

Was on the front page of the enterprise
Navy museum work on hold
Broughton Construction won the $4,662,200 contract to build a new Patuxent River Naval Air Museum and Visitors Center last fall, but the project is now almost four months behind schedule.
St. Mary’s County government sent a stop-work order on Dec. 7, 2012, to Broughton Construction and last week sent another letter that could terminate the contract.
In order to guarantee that the work would be completed, Broughton Construction had to purchase performance bonds as required by the federal, state and local governments, which all contributed money to the 15-year-old museum project. The bonds the company purchased were fraudulent, according to county government officials.

Better yet: Why did construction even begin on the new museum? This fiasco and the new Three Notch Trail are not things taxpayers should be funding right now.
But, in answer to your question: The construction company that was awarded the contract for the museum is getting ready to default because of poor performance.
