Hope Plaza one step closer to construction

The Hope Plaza in Paradise, dedicated to the memory of the Camp Fire, is one step closer to starting construction.

Closer to construction!

It's on the corner of foster road and skyway.

The design calls for a stone pillar, a hero plaza, a reflection fountain and a "forest wall of honor".

You can see some signs and fences are already up.

We asked one town council member why this is being built.

This was an inspiration this area that you see behind us has been an eye sore since long before the fire its an awkward lot there's not a lot that can be done with it and a group came together and said why cant we make something beautiful for our community that inspires hope."

All funds used for this construction and maintenance are from private sources.

No public funds from the town will be used for this.

Community members are looking at a target completion date by november 8th 2021.
