Capital Expansion - Phase 2 Stats and Timelines
Roadmap
Our goal is to complete the fundraising for the construction of two Estates, A and B. Each will house up to 50 chimps allowing us to successfully relocate ALL of the chimps still waiting at the New Iberia Research Center. Our roadmap to realize this goal is outlined below and will be updated as milestones are achieved or supply timelines adjust.
