Veterans outreach coordinator seeks new engraver for Memorial Park bricks
Summary
A veterans outreach coordinator told the Village of Jordan board that the company that previously engraved memorial bricks closed in 2018; he reported locating a potential engraver in Pennsylvania and will pursue low-cost options so families can continue to purchase commemorative bricks.
Mike Wiers, the village's Veterans Outreach Coordinator, addressed the board about maintaining the program for engraved bricks at Memorial Park.
Wiers said the village's previous engraver, Paragon Brick Company, closed in 2018. "Paragon Brick Company used to engrave the bricks, however, the company closed in 2018," he said, and added he had been given the name of a contractor in Pennsylvania to explore as a replacement. Families would continue to purchase bricks while the village would arrange engraving and installation, he said.
Wiers told the board he would contact the prospective vendor and try to keep costs at a minimum, consistent with past practice.
