Veteran’s Park DAR plaque installation okayed

Last month, more than a dozen NSDAR members spoke to commissioners, sharing concerns they had heard the elected body was opposed to the plaque installation. At Thursday’s meeting, commissioners reiterated they instead were doing their due diligence before casting the unanimous vote in support of NSDAR’s proposal.
