by Bea Peterson
At the Village of Hoosick Falls Board meeting on Tuesday, July 12, the Board approved the design for the ground work for the Veterans Memorial Wall. Wall committee member Bob Becker showed the plan, which will incorporate the millstone already in the park in the design, to the Board. The plantings will be reviewed once the ground work is complete. There will be a new sidewalk leading toward the walls starting from the Main Street sidewalk. The design will expand to a V and will include brick type trim on the edges and cement and exposed aggregate in the center. Village Trustee Ric DiDonato said he did not want to see the walls overpower the gazebo as that is also an important part of Wood Park. Becker agreed.
