During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the allocation of $5 million intended for a specific bill, with one official expressing frustration over a lack of progress in planning. The official highlighted that just a week prior to the meeting, they discovered that the Chimore Land Trust and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) had approved a map that designates 14 acres of land for a buffer zone, which they argued could have been effectively managed with only 5 acres.

The discussion pointed to a significant discrepancy between the land designated for the project and the actual size of the monument planned for construction. The official questioned the Director, Juan Pat Borja, about the dimensions of the monument, indicating a lack of clarity and communication regarding the project's specifics. The meeting underscored ongoing concerns about land management and the effectiveness of planning processes related to the funding and development of the project.
