(Marion, IA) -- The Marion Parks & Recreation Foundation is leading a $1.3 million capital campaign to support the Central Plaza, currently under construction in City Square Park in Uptown Marion. The project is scheduled to reach substantial completion in December 2024.
Commemorative bricks which will be placed at the site are being sold for $100 each. The bricks will be displayed around the depot pavilion and fire pits in the plaza.
“Purchasing a brick is a great opportunity to celebrate family milestones and recognize or memorialize loved ones,” said Al Rowe, co-chair of the Central Plaza capital campaign. “It is also a way to honor what makes Marion special – it’s past, present and future.”
The customized, personal inscription can include up to three lines with a limit of 13 characters on each line. All inscriptions are subject to approval.
More information at www.cityofmarion.org/plazabricks. The deadline to participate is Aug. 11, 2024.
Foundation members will have information about the project and brick pavers available at the City’s booth in the North Plaza during the Uptown Marion Market on Saturday, July 13, between 8 a.m.-noon.
