Commission discusses Memorial Park paver repairs and plaque for benefactors

The commission reviewed proposed improvements at Memorial Park (VMP), including weed control between bricks, leveling a few pavers, and installing a hook to hang wreaths at the monument. A member who met with a masonry contractor described available modern materials and recommended pulling weeds and targeted repairs rather than broad chemical treatments because of runoff concerns.

Members said two new bricks were ready to be installed ahead of Veterans Day and discussed cutoffs and lead times: one member said orders should be placed in mid‑October to ensure installation before the holiday. The commission also said Art is working on a plaque listing benefactors; members confirmed the brick fund is held by the town finance office and asked the chair to verify fund balances and invite Art to a future meeting.
