An update on the proposed veterans memorial park, a new copier and a sidewalk project were discussed at the Sept. 9 Evansville Village Board meeting.
Village President Kenny Kempfer noted that they are still working on establishing a proposed veterans memorial, as proposed earlier this year, on the vacant lot between Liberty and Main Streets, near the river.
He added that they have been working with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and have also talked with other agencies including Federal Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). All have been favorable of the idea, with the exception of installing a concrete pad in the floodplain.
