Central Hill Veterans Vietnam and Korean War Memorial Project Groundbreaking

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, Ward 3 City Councilor Ben Ewen-Campen, and the City of Somerville’s Department of Veterans’ Services and Public Space and Urban Forestry Division invite members of the public to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Central Hill Veterans Vietnam and Korean War Memorial project.

The Central Hill Veterans Memorials project was a component of the new Somerville High School campus design. Coming out of an extensive community process, the vision for the site includes a memorial walk with reflective spaces honoring veterans in chronological order. The first phase of the project includes the return of the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials to the lawn in front of Somerville High School. Belko Landscaping will begin installation work this summer.
