Work begins on a new Veterans Memorial in Greendale, six years after the quest first began.
Ground broke last month and construction began last week on the site at the south end of the community’s business district off Broad St at Southway, in the shadow of Greendale High School.
The job could be done by the end of summer.
It took three years to land the site which used to belong to the school board as well as a referendum to make it happen, not to mention a $300,000 fundraising drive.
