Supporters of a new Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor will be coming through the area in the coming weeks to give preview presentations.
The $52 million project breaks ground at the end of this year (to be finished in 2010) and will
feature a campus-like setting with new buildings and shaded walkway. It basically expands the existing memorial (designed for 750,000 people) where more than 1.3 million people now visit annually.
A presentation will be given in San Pedro at 10 a.m. Aug. 30 (a Saturday) at the Fort MacArthur Museum in Angels Gate Park, 3601 S. Gaffey St.
Other meetings are planned for Santa Monica (1 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Santa Monica Public Library), the Ontario Airport Marriott (2 p.m. Aug. 30) and at the Japanese American National Museum (11 a.m. Aug. 31).
