Construction began in June on the Theodore Roosevelt presidential library planned for the Badlands of western North Dakota
BISMARCK, N.D. — — Construction is underway for the Theodore Roosevelt presidential library planned in the Badlands of western North Dakota, where the 26th president hunted and ranched as a young man in the 1880s.
“If you were to come out on site, you're seeing a sequence that began with the topsoil, started with the east wing, moves to the west wing and then will move back to the east wing,” he said. Total construction will cost about $180 million. Construction will continue through the winter, barring severe weather. “We're hardy and resilient,” O'Keefe quipped.
O'Keefe told the AP the project has “exceeded over $200 million in fundraising and commitments.” Fundraising “doesn't really ever end,” he said.
