Granville approves Veterans Park weddings; board highlights Alzheimer's Awareness Month and local events
Summary
The Granville Village Board approved two wedding requests for Veterans Park and heard updates including praise for DPW work, a volunteer‑led Alzheimer's Awareness campaign, $4,700 raised for the Summer Concert Series and 108 registrants for the Rail Trail Race.
The Granville Village Board approved two requests to hold wedding ceremonies in Veterans Park and used its June 1 meeting to highlight several community programs and volunteer efforts.
Mayor Paul Labas told the board the requests seek use of Veterans Park on June 6 and Aug. 29; Deputy Mayor Dean Hyatt moved approval, Trustee Paul Garrone seconded, and the board approved both dates unanimously.
During the public comment portion and mayoral remarks, Deputy Mayor Hyatt publicly complimented the Department of Public Works for its recent work on park appearance, banner installation and paving at the Pember Library & Museum. Mayor Labas reminded those in attendance that June is "Alzheimer's Awareness Month," said volunteers would be "painting the town purple" to raise awareness and that purple lights had been placed in Veterans Park and at the Municipal Center.
Clerk‑Treasurer Rick Roberts reported that Deputy Clerk‑Treasurer Dee Scarlotta had raised roughly $4,700 from local businesses and civic groups for the Summer Concert Series. He also thanked Cristina Marchese, director of the Rail Trail Race, and noted 108 registrants participated this year despite weather‑related turnout issues. Roberts said the village continues to advertise for a Summer Swim Program director to run July–August sessions.
Trustee Heather Leaman moved to adjourn at 7:10 p.m.; Trustee Paul Garrone seconded and the motion carried without objection.
