Berrien County considers commemorative coin after parks grant denied
Summary
After the Parks Department's grant application to host a 250th‑anniversary celebration was not funded, Interim Administrator Mike Sepic suggested researching a special collectable coin as an alternative commemorative option and will report back on cost and timing.
The Board discussed options to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States after the Parks Department's grant application to host a celebration was not selected for funding. Interim Administrator Mike Sepic said a special collectable coin could be developed as an alternative commemorative item and that he would research cost and timing and report back to the Committees and Commissioners.
The meeting record notes the County previously produced a special stamped plate in 1974 for a past celebration but said there is not enough time to reproduce that exact item for the 250th; no budget or schedule was adopted, and Sepic will return with details at a future meeting.
