The city of Schofield is looking at a location for a memorial for the victims of the March 22nd, 20-17 shooting incident in the Wausau area.
City beautification committee chair Amy Bergstrom says the favorite option is located in Dam park near where the Eau Claire River flows into Lake Wausau.
“That is probably our top choice right now.”
They are looking at an area that has high visibility and also a place where people can take time to reflect on the four victims. The Bergstrom says the monument itself will have a section for each victim.
“It looks like that’s going to be made of glass so it’s not actually going to be fueled or anything.”
They are considering other locations in Schofield, but a lot will depend on how portable the memorial is in the event it needs to be moved.
The committee is hoping to have the memorial installed this fall following a park cleanup project in the area. If it’s not installed this fall, the installation would have to wait until the spring of 2019.
