Arlington might have had an outdoor 9/11 memorial and an institution supporting infant democracies around the world if the city was selected to be the site for the George W. Bush presidential library and museum.
This vision for the 43rd president’s museum is detailed in a video released by Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck. It was part of a failed bid for the library the city made last year.
The first round of cuts in October bumped Arlington out along with University of Texas System bids to build the library in either Austin or on the UT-Dallas campus in Richardson.
Still in the running for the multimillion-dollar presidential library and museum are Southern Methodist University in Dallas, the University of Dallas in Irving, Baylor University in Waco and the West Texas Coalition which is campaigning to get the library built at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
