This project will include both Site Improvement and
Rebuilding phases. Structural and aesthetic enhancements
will provide stability and visibility to the Memorial.
Notably, the revamped Memorial will be completely
wheelchair accessible. In October 2020, the Veterans
Memorial Committee placed the order for the new and
refurbished monuments detailed in the project plan. The
existing monuments were then removed from the site on
Tuesday, October 27, 2020.
The new World War I & II monument will be quarried and crafted in Barre, Vermont, at the same quarry used for the original monument in 1950.
The Korean War monument was also shipped to Vermont where a new stone backdrop will be added, along with cleaning and polishing.
Monuments for the Vietnam War and the Medal of Honor
recipients will be cleaned locally.
