Sam Williams, a project representative, presented draft panel designs and outreach plans for a commemorative panel and QR‑code linked resources intended to recognize people buried in a cemetery associated with state custody. The presentation described using a temporary mounting for initial installation, with the possibility of a more permanent ground mount later if approved by the town and other stakeholders.

Commissioners and attendees asked detailed questions about mounting methods, visibility, and the panel text. One commissioner raised the 350‑foot conduit trenching shown in project materials and asked whether that level of ground disturbance might require an archaeological review. Williams said the first mounting would be temporary and described plans for phased work subject to town and stakeholder approvals.

Several commissioners and attendees advised reconsidering language on the panels. A commissioner said the label "BIPOC" might confuse members of the public who are not familiar with DEI terminology; Sam Williams agreed to revisit the wording with the project lead, Elizabeth, and consider removing or clarifying that language. Commissioners also raised whether the names of those buried could or should be published; Williams explained that many burials associated with state custody are recorded with minimal public information and that privacy and state practices often mean names are not made publicly available. The project team plans to link a QR code to a Concord Library resource and an interactive map that will provide fuller biographical information for researchers and interested visitors.

Williams invited commissioners to attend a public event and display of the project at Concord Library on Tuesday night and said staff from the Department of Correction had given informal assurances that the cemetery would remain protected and that the DOC would support maintenance. Commissioners offered edits to poster text, suggested clearer phrasing about where names and more information could be found via QR code, and recommended the project consider how to communicate privacy limits and any archaeological constraints to the public.
