Judge Sylvia Rambo will preside over the 10 a.m. sentencing hearing in Courtroom 3 of the federal courthouse in Harrisburg, according to court documents.
Dodd pleaded guilty in November to federal fraud charges in connection with the unfinished $28 million project.
Capitol View was planned as a 215,000-square-foot printing, office and retail facility at Cameron and Herr streets. It was supposed to transform the struggling redevelopment corridor.
But contractors walked off the site mid-build in spring 2008, claiming they had not been paid.
Dodd was promised more than $17 million in local, state and federal money to build the facility. He spent more than $8 million in public money before the project soured, according to financial records.
