What is the target date for construction to begin?
The target date to begin construction is arbitrarily set as July 4, 2010. This is a very ambitious goal since progress is dependent on many factors. The Foundation must raise at least $20 million to develop and build the monument and guarantee perpetual maintenance. If the Peace Memorial is to be built on the mall, the Foundation will need to secure approvals from the National Capital Planning Commission, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the National Capital Memorial Commission. This process will not begin until the funds are in hand. We need donors and volunteers to make the public aware of the project and to meet our fundraising goals.
