Fundraising underway for Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial Plaza project

The Veterans Memorial Advisory Group, the organization charged with overseeing the Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial Plaza in Sun City, is working to raise $200,000 to create a place of peace at the memorial.

The overview: The revitalization project entails constructing a pergola with benches behind the wall of the memorial where visitors can sit and reflect, surrounded by native landscaping and pavers, VMAG Chair Diane Klutz said.

Currently, there are a number of Italian cypress trees behind the wall. However, VMAG Communications Chair George Monnat said these trees are not native to Texas, adding that the group has spent a significant amount of funding to maintain them.

What’s next: The fundraising campaign kicked off Sept. 15, and VMAG is looking to secure pledges totaling $200,000 in funding by the end of November.

Initial estimates show work starting in late January or February and taking about two months to complete, Monnat said.

The organization’s goal is to reopen the revitalized portion of the memorial plaza by Memorial Day, May 25.
