• West Point landmark getting updated (wtva.com) — West Point's Sally Kate Winters Memorial Park gazebo is being rebuilt into a larger, safer, and more accessible gathering space, funded with federal ARPA dollars. The new design keeps the gazebo's historic character while expanding room for community events, and it's expected to be finished by December, in time for next year's Prairie Arts Festival visitors.
