Calumet Village Council approves Big Annie statue for Greenspace near the Theatre
Summary
After an advisory-committee update on funding and completion, the council voted 6–0 to place the Big Annie statue in the Greenspace adjacent to the Theatre on 6th Street; manager announced a related community event scheduled Oct. 25.
Members of the Big Annie Advisory Committee told the Calumet Village Council on Oct. 21 that fundraising and construction for the Big Annie statue are complete enough to request a permanent site. They asked the council to place the statue in the Greenspace on the Theatre side of 6th Street.
Trustee Kelly Ryan moved to "extend our appreciation, and to accept the proposal to place the Big Annie Statue in the Greenspace at a location near the Theatre on the 6th Street side," seconded by Trustee James Tercha. The motion carried 6–0.
Manager Megan Haselden announced a community reception, "A Toast to Big Annie," scheduled for Oct. 25 at the Theatre. The minutes record that the advisory committee provided an update on funding and completion but do not specify funding sources, exact completion dates, or installation timelines.
The council did not record any amendments or conditions to the placement motion. The next procedural step recorded in the minutes is the event announcement; no formal implementation timeline or permitting details were listed in the meeting record.
