The idea of building the Chandler Museum a space of its own has been tossed around the southeast Valley suburb since the 1980s.
More than three decades later, after changes to location, size and cost, construction of the $6 million history museum got underway last month.
“It’s been a long time coming to have something be fitting for the city of Chandler,” said Chandler resident Jim Ryan, who chaired the 2004 bond committee that secured funding for the project.
