Project Overview

Due to the reconstruction of Highways 59 and 108, it's imperative to move our Honor Wall to a safer and more visible location. Some of the parts of the existing wall will be used to install into a new wall based on the fact that in the process of moving the wall there are parts of the old wall that would not survive the move and would require building a new base, etc..

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Due to the current location, there was no place to park and people were not able to easily visit the memorial. The move will allow many more people to visit and honor the names of the veterans on the wall. This will also provide increased historical information and knowledge for all visitors.
