PHASE 1
PROJECT UPDATES

A lot has been going on since our groundbreaking on April 7 as we move towards construction of Phase 1:

• The construction bond has been issued and we are awaiting final approval on the permits.
• Contracts for excavation, cement, and flag poles, including installation, have been signed.
• Meetings are being held with the City of Royal Oak and DTE regarding the moving of electrical poles and wires which is necessary before excavation work can begin. A work order has been submitted.
• Paver bricks have been packaged and grouped in preparation for moving and installation.
• We are working with potential paver brick installation contractors on contract proposals.
• Fundraising continues as we work towards future phases such as the 50' x 10' granite Wall of Honor, full-sized statues and other memorial elements.

Every paver in the Walk of Honor represents the sacrifice and service of individuals and organizations from Michigan who played a role in the Allied victory.

We want to share these stories on our Website and Facebook page.

If you have a family member who will be represented in the Walk of Honor, let us know their story! Click here to share their story!
