Preliminary Design Plan and Fundings
Design Plan
Site renderings below were initially utilized to obtain initial historical preservation grants from the Orleans Community Preservation Committee ("the CPC") in amounts approximating $35,000. Via these grants, the Town of Orleans will cover the costs of comprehensive architectural design services related to the Park and its rejuvenation. With a more comprehensive design in 2023 the Town of Orleans approved $100,000 in capital and in 2024 the CPC and Town approved an additonal $125,000 in qualified recreational funding for the Park. This additional $225,000 in funding will go toward demolition, and rebuilding of utilities, sidewalks, patios lighting, irrigatgion and grading once a contractor and vendors have been procured.
Working with the Town of Orleans and the Veterans Day Committee, the ongoing efforts of this 501(c)(3) will be to procure donations for inscribed bricks honoring any veteran with a connection to neighbors, friends, family and visitors to Orleans. In addition, donations and sponsors can contribute toward inscribed granite benches and to the relocation and refurbishment of several theatre-specific memorials, each of which will commemorate those Orleans residents who served in that theater.
The ability to honor or pay tribute to non-residents who served will be possible through donation of various elements inherent to the design. Examples are contributions toward elements like walking paths, landscaping, brickwork, seating and gathering areas. The park will benefit from new stonework, lighting and irrigation, and enhancements to ensure a beautiful and dignified physical space to honor Vets and to allow a peaceful respite for local family members and visitors of all ages.
