The project’s total value, officially undisclosed, was estimated at $1.3 million to $1.5 million, one of the most ambitious projects ever for the TV show.

Dozens of local companies and 3,000 volunteers contributed to the project.

“There were a lot of Springfield-based companies out there,” said Stacey Hammit, owner of Carnahan-White Fence Co., whose Springfield company erected about 400 feet of permanent fence at the site. “It was a very special thing to see all these people come together and donate their time and their materials.”
