Veterans Memorial Plaza had been in the works for more than 12 years, as the land for the park had been dedicated to the City of Sanger with a 2006 subdivision. The park was always envisioned as a memorial for Sanger veterans, and a Veterans Advisory Committee was formed early on to develop the conceptual design. The end product was a park that the community could be proud of, as the large turnout at the park’s ribbon cutting ceremony could attest.
