Construction project begins!
From July 2017 through the spring of 2018, Cooper-Molera will be an active construction site. With the start of construction, members of the public will start to see significant changes to the site. Throughout this process, we will make every effort to allow our stakeholders in Monterey to stay informed as construction proceeds.
To that end, we will be providing regular updates on this page, as well as on social media (follow us on Instagram at @coopermolera). We hope you will check back regularly. Our goal with this project is to create a dynamic historic place that is a source of community pride, and which will interpret Monterey’s unique history for generations to come.
