SOUTHWEST OHIO (WKRC) - Two nonprofits have pledged funding for a proposed monument honoring the Wright brothers in southwest Ohio.

Both committed to help the Wright Image Group purchase land near Dayton for the Triumph of Flight monument.

Organizers said the planned monument will cost $22 million, including funding for operation and maintenance.

At 270 feet tall, it will be close to the height of the Statue of Liberty and will be seen up to three miles away.
