During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing development of the Lincolnville Community Redevelopment Plan, emphasizing the inclusion of historic markers to honor significant figures from the Lincolnville community. These markers will not only commemorate the contributions of individuals involved in the Civil Rights Movement but will also celebrate the community's more joyful moments.
The master plan for the redevelopment includes specific locations for these markers, particularly in Eddie Vickers Park and Doctor Hayling Park. While the plan does not name individuals, it highlights the importance of recognizing the community's history and cultural heritage. Budget allocations for these initiatives have already been established, aligning with the three main concepts outlined in the Lincolnville Community Redevelopment Plan.
This initiative reflects a broader commitment to preserving and celebrating the rich history of Lincolnville, ensuring that both its struggles and triumphs are acknowledged in the community's public spaces.
