Council authorizes Daniel Owen monument at Glocester Town Hall
Summary
The council approved placement of a monument honoring Lieutenant Governor Daniel Owen on the Glocester Town Hall grounds, with a bronze plaque donated by the Owen family and installation overseen by the town DPW.
The Glocester Town Council voted Dec. 18 to authorize placement of a Daniel Owen monument on town‑hall property to coincide with the town’s 250th celebration.
Town historian Edna Kent introduced Lawrence Owen, who presented a PowerPoint and handout describing the proposed memorial. The council motion authorizes the placement at 1145 Putnam (Glocester Town Hall) and specifies that the monument face will include a bronze plaque donated by the Owen family. The town DPW director will oversee selection and installation of the stone.
A council member moved to authorize the monument placement; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The clerk asked for formal motion to move the project forward; councilors approved the request in open session.
Next steps: the DPW director will coordinate stone selection and installation; no budget amount or funding source was specified in the transcript.
