Summary
The Veterans Memorial Committee has raised about $18,000 toward a town monument, finalized specs with Stevens Memorial and expects color renderings soon; a 50% deposit will be required to order granite with a goal of completion by Veterans Day and the town’s 250th anniversary.
Members of the Veterans Memorial Committee met with Stevens Memorial to finalize monument designs, layout and specifications and reported progress toward fundraising and procurement.
The committee has raised nearly $18,000 and is close to ordering granite, which typically requires a 50% deposit. Committee members discussed the option of scaling down the design to reduce costs if necessary. Color renderings and updated specifications are expected to be delivered soon.
Committee members and Selectboard attendees said the goal is for the monument to be completed by Veterans Day and timed with the town’s 250th anniversary. The meeting record did not include contractor bids, exact final cost estimates or the projected schedule for fabrication and installation; the committee expects to provide those details once renderings and final quotes are available.
