Another Brick in the Wall


A long meeting of the EAGC last night culminated in a recommendation for construction of a set of new monuments for WL.  The wall pictured above is a sample of the look the monuments will have once constructed, natural stone with recessed grout.  The cutaway allows viewers to see the construction method to be used by the construction firm. (the demo wall is at City Hall).

Bottom line, if all monuments at all sites are built, the projected cost is $303, 974.  Add to that the $39, 186 already spent on design, the grand total for the project will be $343,160, subject to bids for phases as they are implemented.  Subtract funds already received, $59,881 (KCMO $50,000, plus other donations) the necessary money to cover the project start to finish via contributions is $283,279.

All in all...

Which sites were chosen for phase I?

Did anybody ask what happens if enough money isn't raised? Are we going to be stuck with a hodge podge of old and new?
