Organizers of the new Juneau Arts and Culture Center (JACC) are finished with the “quiet” fundraising period and are ready to make some noise.<\/p>\n
In a presentation to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, three representatives for the new JACC detailed the fundraising process, the economic benefits of the center and the design of the building itself.<\/p>\n
John Clough, one of the organizers, said the new JACC is about to become a reality and it’s time for the fundraising process to kick into gear.<\/p>\n
“That’s why I’m up here talking to groups like you,” Clough said. “We’re here trying to get the word out about exactly what’s happening with this project because we’re about to start the active part of the fundraising.”<\/p>\n
As of now, the organizers have raised just shy of 20 percent of the project, which is estimated to cost around $26 million when all is said and done. The construction project is estimated at $19 million. That construction process is slated to start in April 2018, Owner’s Rep and Program Manager Bob Banghart said Thursday. He estimated the construction process would take between 18 and 20 months to complete.<\/p>\n
