The expansion of the museum will include another exhibit hall, staff researchers office, offices, field lab, work area, open storage area, cataloged collections room, archive, and sensitive collections room. A total of 7,190 square feet will be added to the museum. The cost of remodeling and expanding Edge of the Cedars, including the maintenance building, is $1,675,000. At present, there are no funds to hire additional staff. Dale Davidson of the Bureau of Land Management said the BLM and State Parks are still negotiating a fee for storing and maintaining BLM artifacts at the Davidson said, museum.
