Board updates Veterans Memorial paver sales; capacity and deadlines shared
Summary
At the Feb. 20 meeting the Norton Parks and Cemetery Board discussed sales and capacity for pavers at the Norton Veterans Memorial, reported about 20 pavers sold so far, noted a mid-April deadline and an additional July deadline, and identified capacity limits and options for future phases.
Board members reviewed fundraising and installation details for the Norton Veterans Memorial pavers at the Feb. 20, 2025 meeting. Staff reported about 20 paver purchases to date and said paver orders will continue to be accepted through a primary deadline in mid-April and a later deadline extending into July.
Board members said the memorial's design allows roughly 180–190 pavers across the available sizes (discussion during the meeting reported paver quantity limits in the 60s per size, totalling roughly 180–190). Staff and members discussed a fundraising goal of 30 pavers before the memorial dedication and said they now expect sales to exceed that target.
Concerns and logistics discussed included character limits for inscriptions (16 characters per line was described as strict), and ideas for accommodating additional veteran names in later phases if families cannot fit names on pavers. The board also discussed outreach and volunteer promotion to increase sales and noted plans for a cleanup/planting event near the dedication.
No formal board action was recorded on the pavers at the meeting; the board identified follow-up tasks around deadlines, outreach and potential future phases for additional name recognition.
