Resident Proposes Program to Preserve City Civil War Monument
Craig A. Chicoine presented his "
Adopt-A-Monument" program to the North Adams (MA) City Council on Tuesday night during the open forum portion of the meeting. His program would allow a "single group or company to adopt the monument by agreeing to underwrite its conservation and maintenance." He also asked for the creation of a Monument Square Conservation Commission and the establishment of a fund to be used to conserve the statue as well as to promote it.
