Board accepts donor-funded Purple Heart memorial for Veterans Parkway display
Summary
The board accepted a private donation to add a granite Purple Heart memorial and a bench memorial to the Veterans Parkway military display; city staff will assist with installation and a future memorial will return to the board for approval before installation.
The Board of Public Works accepted a donor’s offer to add a granite Purple Heart memorial and a bench‑style memorial to the Veterans Parkway military display adjacent to the library. Public Works staff said the memorials and their installation will be privately funded and the parks division will assist as needed.
A board member noted Marshfield’s recent designation as a Purple Heart City and said the donor is dedicating the memorial to a friend; staff clarified the only name to appear on the granite monument will be the person the donor intends to honor. The board approved accepting the donation and authorized staff to assist with placement; a second donor monument will be presented again to the board before installation when finalized.
