Work resumes at veterans memorial

Delay in the wall addition project at the Clintonville Veteran’s Memorial is over as the granite has been delivered and installed.

Ald. Darrell Hansen addressed the Clintonville Common Council during public comments at the Oct. 8 council meeting. He said Mathewson Monuments had installed the black granite earlier in the day.

“I know we’ve been waiting and waiting, and there’s been a lot of people pretty nervous about it, but they did get it (granite) in today,” Hansen said.

Hansen added that he was informed by Mathewson Monuments that they worked through the weekend on the project.

“He was pretty nervous about it too, getting the granite because it came on a slow boat, you know how that goes,” Hansen said.

He added, “It really looks good. I strongly suggest everybody take a look at it.”

As reported in the Sept. 12 issue of the Clintonville Tribune-Gazette, the wall addition project was initially delayed because the black granite, which comes from India, was delayed in being delivered.
