Phase II Construction is underway!

Phase II Construction is underway!

After a long winter, we are proud to say that Phase II Construction is officially underway! Construction began this week and will include flatwork, the main deck, pillars, flag pole stands, and some electrical. Additional electrical will be needed and will incur an additional cost on top of the planned Phase II expenses. The company doing all the work is Yoder Builders, Inc. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy but feel free to drive by and take a peek for yourself!

Flag Sponsorship Opportunities

The Reno County Veterans’ Memorial project is opening up the ability to sponsor one (or all) of the five flags which will be on the memorial. Each flag will be on a 20′ spun aluminum pole and will be 4′ x 6′. You can choose to sponsor just one flag and pole for $3,000 or all five branches for a total of $15,000.

Available:

  • Army (SOLD)
  • Marines
  • Navy
  • Air Force

Sponsors are able to choose which branch of service to sponsor as long as it is available. Sponsorship plaques will be attached to the base of each flag pole denoting the sponsorship.
