Officials with the memorial say their insurance company is completing their review of the claim and will let them known by mid-week how much of the damage is covered. <\/p>\n
They say they are also working with the memorial designer Kristoffer Kenton to include names on the new panel that memorial officials discovered since it was first dedicated. <\/p>\n
Once the manufacturer gets the order, they expect about the new panel to be ready in about 10 weeks. <\/p>\n
Memorial officials are also working with security advisers to design a system that will provided surveillance of the Memorial. <\/p>\n
Last weekend, a memorial fundraiser brought in $19,000, and supporters have donated another $11,000 for repairs on the Restore Colorado Freedom Memorial GoFundMe page. <\/p>\n
Organizers believe it will cost at least $55,000 to replace the damaged pane. <\/p>\n
