GREEN
Park proposed
GREEN: Mayor Dick Norton is assembling a committee, led by Parks Division Superintendent Mike Elkins, to consider a veterans memorial park in the city.
Norton said he would like the committee to determine what such a park would look like and seek input from the community where it should be located.
The mayor said he hopes that the new park can be completed in time for Veteran's Day 2010.
A potential location could be in front of the John Torok Community Center on Massillon Road where a monument, flags and cannon are now situated.
Norton said he would like at least part of a $250,000 grant from FirstEnergy to help pay for the project.
