Memorial Mile Canceled Due to Construction on 8th Avenue
Update: We will have a Memorial Mile display in May 2017
Scott Camil was interviewed by several publications in May 2016 about the conflict between construction on 8th Avenue and the annual display Vets for Peace has put up on the roadside there starting in 2017. Many people have seen and visited the project and public support has grown over the years. But despite protests the City Commission voted to go ahead with a road and sidewalk project that may make it impossible to continue the display after construction is finished. The grassy areas beside the road will decrease from 42 inches to 36 inches and there simply may no longer be room for the display.
