Mayor Wade Dale updated the Gillsville Town Council on plans for the Veterans Memorial during the Aug. 11 meeting, saying trenching and lighting are imminent and that laying brick will follow.
The update, given by Mayor Wade Dale, said he and Council Member Ricky Sutton had discussed digging a trench for utilities, installing lighting including running lights, and where the lights should be placed around the memorial. "Lighting and laying brick will be the next step," Dale said in the meeting record.
The announcement provided a construction-phase status rather than a request for new funding or a formal vote; the council did not take formal action on the memorial at the meeting. The project affects veterans and the broader Gillsville community, and the mayor framed the work as a near-term set of tasks to move the memorial forward.
Council Member Ricky Sutton was identified in the record as a participant in planning discussions with the mayor. No contractors, timeline beyond the described next steps, or funding details were specified in the meeting record.
The council did not set a follow-up date for a vote or for detailed contractor selection during the Aug. 11 meeting.
