"More than five years after the devastating fire ravaged Notre Dame, igniting nearly $1 billion in pledged donations within days, restoration chief Philippe Jost says 140 million (around $148 million) still remains from the funds as the cathedral prepares to reopen next month."
"Jost praised the generosity after the fire and the management of the restoration funds that were 'entrusted to someone very attentive and professional,' he told a press conference in Paris."
"He noted that these funds will be used 'in agreement with the patrons and donors to carry out needed work campaigns,' as Notre Dame faces continued demands for preservation and structural integrity."
"Officials in Paris announced the Notre Dame Cathedral will hold a grand reopening ceremony on Dec. 7 after it finishes its extensive restoration."
