Lots of activity at Taft Park this week - site of the future veterans memorial:
The old paving bricks will be removed and reused in other New London parks.
New cement footings will be put in for the black granite walls, and the future black walls, and the walkways.
Electric wiring will be installed, and the lights relocated.
The new bricks will be installed for the walkways and the memorial itself.
