The organization behind this effort is the Institute for Digital Archaeology. They are extremely excited to be bringing this project to New York next month as you can see from this excerpt which comes from their official website:

There are few cities in the world as much defined by their architecture as New York. The Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge—all symbols of the audacity, strength, technical prowess, diversity and optimism of what Ezra Pound called "the most beautiful city in the world." It is also a city that has known terrible loss—first and foremost the loss of life, but also the loss of familiar landmarks that helped inform the city's identity. The Triumphal Arch, a symbol of resilience in the face of loss, will be a fitting tribute to America's great metropolis. The arch will stand in Manhattan, surrounded by buildings adorned with classical features suggesting the common cultural roots of East and West. We hope that you will visit us this fall to consider the relationship between people and the places they inhabit.

Their website also features a public letter from their executive director which confirms that September 19 is the date when this arch will go up. You can read the public letter for yourself right here.

So we have it directly from the source that September 19 is the official date when the arch will be unveiled.

I find it very interesting that one of the reasons why New York was picked was to remind visitors of "the indomitable human capacity to rebuild what has been lost." Of course that is a reference to 9/11, and in his book The Harbinger, Jonathan Cahn has pointed out all of the parallels between America's bold pronouncements to rebuild in the aftermath of 9/11 and Israel's defiant statements as recorded in Isaiah 9:10:

"The bricks are fallen down,
but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars."

When a reproduction of the Arch of Triumph was put up in Trafalgar Square back in April, it was also described by a major British news source as "an act of defiance":

A monumental recreation of the destroyed Arch of Triumph in Palmyra, Syria, has been unveiled in London's Trafalgar Square.

The 1,800-year-old arch was destroyed by Islamic State militants last October and the 6-metre (20ft) model, made in Italy from Egyptian marble, is intended as an act of defiance: to show that restoration of the ancient site is possible if the will is there.

Many people have never heard of the Arch of Triumph, but it is actually a UNESCO World Heritage site. The following is…
