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!
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
Coast Guard
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.
Funds are officially donated to the Reno County Veterans Association. The Reno County Veterans Association is a tax exempt organization under the IRS tax code 501 (c)(3) with donations deductible under IRC Section 170. The Reno County Veterans Association’s tax ID number is 47-4024766.
