Building permits have been issued and McCarthy Construction has moved in an office trailer and fencing around the site has been installed.
The vision for the International Dark Sky Discovery Center (IDSDC) in Fountain Hills is about to become a reality.
On the eve of the site mobilization, IDSCD President Joe Bill announced nearly $1 million in new donations to the project, which is using privately raised funds, along with support from the Arizona State budget. Bill said the Summer Solstice Matching Program raised $433,500. That month- long effort leading up to the Summer Solstice on June 20 had donors who matched the contributions that came in during the fundraiser.
