Main focus: Glenrock Veterans Park progress
Candy and Melody walk through the momentum behind the Glenrock Veterans Park project:
- Started as an idea roughly a year ago; the project expanded after a lot near “SIPs” was offered for the site.
- Granite has been delivered and is U.S.-made (important to the committee).
- They’re finalizing the engraved list: 540+ veterans’ names tied to the 82637 area, verified via DD-214s and cemetery research.
- Fundraising status shared on-air: $1.1M raised toward an estimated $1.75M, with about $600K remaining.
- Funding sources mentioned: grants (town, county commissioners, Wyoming America 250 grant) + private donations.
- Community brick program continues: you can buy a remembrance brick (they mention $500) for family, friends, or businesses.
(If you want the “how to donate / brick” info in your show notes, the official town page also lists donation details and contact info.)
Target timeline they mention: site work is done, concrete starts when spring weather permits, with hopes to open by September 2026.
