It has now been confirmed that Greenwich will host the Millennium exhibition in the year 2000.
Greenwich beat Birmingham in the competition to host the celebration because it offers the greatest potential to meet the Millennium Commission’s aspirations. It will also regenerate an important part of south London and will allow a more exciting presentation of the Exhibition theme based on time.
The programme organisation will begin later this year, and 1997 will see the development of a series of regional centres to shape the content of the Exhibition itself, which will include artistic, scientific, historical and sporting components from the regions.
The Commission will commit £200 million in Lottery money to the exhibition and the remaining costs will be met by private investment.
