Cass County volunteers complete stone monument project for Poqueta Township

In a recent meeting of the Cass County Board of Commissioners, a significant community project was highlighted: the installation of a stone monument in Poqueta Township. This initiative, which took over a year and a half to complete, involved extensive cleaning and preparation work by local volunteers, particularly noted was the effort of a dedicated resident who took on the task of maintaining the monument.

The monument, now proudly displayed in front of the township, serves as a symbol of community pride and remembrance. The volunteer shared that he applied a protective coat of industrial grease to ensure its longevity against the elements, committing to its upkeep throughout his term in office. This dedication reflects a strong sense of responsibility and connection to the community.

The project was coordinated with the help of local leaders, including Jackie Taylor, and was completed before the passing of the monument's donor, adding a poignant layer to its significance. The commissioners expressed their pride in the accomplishment, emphasizing its importance to the township and the community at large.

In addition to the monument discussion, the meeting included various updates from different districts, showcasing ongoing efforts to enhance community engagement and support. The commissioners encouraged residents to visit the monument and take pride in this new addition to their township.

As Cass County continues to focus on community-driven projects, this monument stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication of its residents, reinforcing the importance of local initiatives in fostering a strong community identity.
