Eisenhower Memorial approval delayed to 2013
The Eisenhower Memorial design by Frank Gehry faces continued family objections to its scale and metal tapestries. The National Capital Planning Commission slated no action in December and will likely review the project in 2013, despite mounting costs and private funding plans. John S D Eisenhower and family oppose a multifaceted approach, advocating a simple green space with a statue and quotes instead. The commission remains committed to Gehry's plan, noting no substantive family comments have been received.
