The Shawano County Public Property Committee agreed Nov. 12 the veterans memorial at the courthouse won’t be moved when the new government center is constructed.
“As far as anyone I talked to, any veteran, everyone told me, ‘Leave it set right where it is,’” said Tom Kautza, county board chairman.
Zak Zuehlsdorf, director of the Shawano County Veterans Service Office, agreed.
“That’s the consensus from the veterans organizations in Shawano,” he said.
Prior to the vote, Brian Winter, of The Samuels Group, the general contractor for the project, discussed the work.
“They’re planning on trench boxing around that to try and not touch that,” he said.
By deciding now, architects and builders can move forward with plans and not be concerned about changes further along in the process.
“I put it on the agenda today to get a motion and settle it,” said Rick Giese, committee chairman.
