State will provide historic marker; Narberth to arrange installation and property-owner permission

Commission members were briefed on a state-approved historical marker project connected to what the meeting transcript refers to as the "Maneuver Park Of Nichols." The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has accepted the marker, will pay for fabrication and shipping, and the borough must provide signatures and limited local installation work.

Key points - State role: The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission will fabricate and ship the marker and related placard. - Borough responsibilities: Narberth must sign the acceptance paperwork and provide and install a post and any site work required; commissioners said the local Public Works department likely can supply a spare post and handle installation. - Property-owner permission: The planned installation site is near the Justice House area; commissioners said they must obtain written permission from the nearest property owner before installing the marker. Dennis and Jim agreed to contact the owner, with possible involvement from Molly Lester. - Ceremony and recognition: Commissioners noted the state requires certain acknowledgments at any unveiling ceremony, including recognition of the state and Governor Josh Shapiro; the commission expects a modest local ceremony and will work out details.

Budget and next steps Commissioners said the borough will likely need to budget a small amount for installation materials and labor; a formal request for funds is expected to be submitted to the borough. Public Works will be consulted about pole availability and installation timing. No formal vote was recorded; the item was given as an operational update and staff and named commissioners were assigned follow-up tasks.

No formal action was recorded at the meeting beyond assignment of follow-up work.
