Veterans Memorial Adding Granite Stones Wednesday

AVON, OH — Avon's new Veterans Memorial is taking another step toward completion. The monument's memorial granite stones will be delivered on Wednesday.

Kotecki Monuments will use a crane to set the 10 stones in their proper place at the memorial, the city said. Each stone weighs approximately one ton.

The process will begin at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Spectators will be able to watch the work from bleachers set up at a safe distance. Attendees should park on the north side of the pond, closer to the Avon Fire Station.

The new Avon Veterans Memorial is next to the Aquatic Facility and behind the Fire Department, 36185 Detroit Road.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held for the memorial in the near future, but city officials have not settled on a date.
