“Getting to this point wouldn’t have been possible without the folks in the community who have been a part of this process along the way,” Obama said. “Michelle and I want to thank you for making this project even better — a space for the community, built in partnership with the community.”

The Obama Foundation said the ground will break as early as April and construction is expected to take about four years, costing around $500 million.
