HARC Progress Reported on Downtown Veteran's Memorial

Neighborhood Advocate, Jay Bowen reports continued progress made by the Huntington Area Revitalization Coalition (HARC), a volunteer group founded by Gene and Robin Howell, that is working to spruce up the area around the Veteran's Memorial statue located at the Downtown Huntington Post Office. Notice in the photos how much better the area looks after the volunteers removed a “sickly” tree that was interfering with the statue. The sidewalk appears much neater after edging and sweeping.

The group will be planting special Veterans roses and annuals around the concrete pad. In addition, HARC is working with the local Veterans groups to install flagpoles and flags for each branch of the United States Armed Forces.

"Together, we will accomplish anything we can imagine!"
