Sanilac County accepts plan for Veteran Remembrance Monument; fundraising underway

Sanilac County commissioners accepted a proposal to establish a four-panel black granite Veteran Remembrance Monument, after a presentation from Sandusky High School teacher Erin Carlson and Josh Robinson, executive director of the Sanilac County Community Foundation. The presenters described a plan to sandblast names from purchased plaques onto the monument. The estimated cost provided in the presentation was $36,000 for the monument and $50,000 for the concrete foundation; donations are being accepted and a fundraiser website has been established. Checks were instructed to be made to Sandusky Schools in care of the monument project.
