Residents ask Chesterfield County to help restore Patrick Veterans Memorial Park and renovate historic jail
Summary
A resident requested county support for Patrick Veterans Memorial Park including dirt delivery at county rates, reported volunteer engineering help and said the group plans a $25,000 Hometown Economic Development Grant to renovate an early-1900s jail; council acknowledged the requests.
During the public-comment segment on July 3, a resident brought forward three requests related to Patrick Veterans Memorial Park and a small historic jail on the site.
The speaker said a volunteer engineer, Michael Hanna of Florence, offered pro bono assistance to finalize park drawings and that the group plans to apply for a $25,000 Hometown Economic Development Grant through the Municipal Association to renovate a one-room brick jail built in the early 1900s. The speaker asked whether the county could provide dirt via county vehicles at county rates to help complete the park project and noted the town and fire department would supply a match for a $7,500 fire grant tied to the project.
Council acknowledged the requests and thanked the speaker for bringing the items forward; no formal council action on the specific assistance requests is recorded in the transcript.
