The Center Point Veterans Memorial is a planned memorial for veterans of all wars to be constructed at Reed-Harvey Park off Polly Reed Road in Center Point by Memorial Day, 2010.
The $46,000 project has been shepherded by Wink Chapman, who worked with Laser Works of Alabama on a design similar to the Gardendale Veterans Memorial. It will consist of a 7-foot tall black granite monument on a concrete plaza with engraved granite bricks in the paving. Additional granite benches and flags will ring the plaza.
The memorial's granite bricks are available for residents to purchase, with inscriptions limited to the names of past or present members of the armed forces.
