Thanks for your comprehensive response. It gives me a lot to consider. I have inquired about some of the encapsulation systems out there, but then I would lose any storage space i have now. As I said, the lower part has about 5' of clearance and is useful for storage, except for the moisture that has become much worse after my neighbor built a new house and probably redirected some of the ground water over my way. There is no standing water anywhere in the basement now, that's why I'm thinking that concrete over a plastic barrier would solve my problem.
I definitely plan to do something about it this year. I just am not sure yet how I will handle it and am still seeking suggestions.
