Work Underway to Refurbish Hamilton's 9/11
Memorial in Veteran's Park
In remembrance of the upcoming 20th anniversary of
September 11th, the Hamilton Township Department of Public Works and
Sean’s Landscaping are working together to update the 9-11 Memorial Grove which
is located at the North Entrance of Veteran’s Park.
Sean’s Landscaping has generously offered to donate and install
granite pavers to enhance the memorial and our Public Works crew have been hard
at work preparing the area for the project.
Once the project is completed, we hope you will visit the
memorial to pay homage to our heroes, to those we lost, to the first responders
who answered the call that day and in the days to follow, and to ensure we
never forget the tragic events that occurred on that day.
Reminder: Township to Commemorate Lives Lost to
COVID-19 Tomorrow April 1st
This time last year we began to face an unknown fight against
the coronavirus, and now, a year later we know much more than we did in the
beginning, and we continue to rage a war together against COVID-19. Today,
March 31st marks the one year anniversary on which the first Hamiltonian
succumbed to the coronavirus. Just in Hamilton, we have faced over 6,000
positive cases and lost 217 lives to this awful virus.
To honor those Hamilton residents we have lost to COVID-19, we
will have a display of luminaries in front of the Hamilton Township Public
Library (1 Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. Way Hamilton, NJ 08619) on the evening
of Thursday, April 1st. All are invited to stop by for a moment of
reflection and pay homage to those we have lost.
