EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
The Vienna Public Art Commission requests funding of $3,846.56 to pay ZM3 Group/Mark Stahl Homes for the balance owed on installation of the base for the "Taking Flight" statue.
The total budget for the "Taking Flight" sculpture was $47,000, which included $39,000 for the cost of sculpture and $8,000 for the cost to install the base. VPAC raised funds totaling $43,769 to pay for the purchase of the "Taking Flight" sculpture and installation of the base.
