As the concept of hall won immediate approval from the people, the government established a preparatory committee in June 1975. The site chosen was one of 250,000 square meters encompassed by Chungshan South Road, Hsinyi Road, Hangchow South Road and Aikuo East Road.
政府即設立中正紀念堂籌建小組，展開各項籌建工作，並選定台北市杭州南路以西、中山南路以東、愛國東路以北、信義路以南，所圍的二十五萬平方公尺土地，作為建堂地點。
