William Massey sculpture to be installed in October; ribbon cutting likely delayed to 2026
Summary
Staff told the Chamblee Public Arts Commission the William Massey sculpture should be finished and installed in mid-October but city park construction delays mean the public ribbon cutting will likely be postponed to early 2026.
Staff updated the commission that the William Massey sculpture’s placement and line of sight were finalized and that the sculpture’s base will be poured when sidewalk work proceeds. “William is planning on having the sculpture finished in mid October,” the staff member said, and the contractor has arranged installation logistics to avoid damage during placement.
Staff cautioned that park construction delays caused by this year’s heavy rain mean the park will not be open, and a previously discussed ribbon cutting is likely to be postponed to early 2026. Staff also said signage — budgeted in the current year — is in progress and that the commission is considering bilingual (Spanish and English) plaques.
