Remembrance Plaza Plans Unveiled
Plattsburgh – April 18, 2025 – The Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor, Michael Cashman, unveiled the signature piece of this next chapter: the Remembrance Plaza — a space of reflection and reverence, honoring those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms.
Mr. Cashman’s Facebook Post:
With the 250th anniversary of the United States (USA 250) on the horizon, the Battlefield Memorial Gateway is more than a local project — it’s a piece of a national story. Situated on the shores of Lake Champlain, one of America’s most historic waterways, this memorial is being built to honor our past and inspire future generations. The timing couldn’t be more meaningful.
A heartfelt thank you to Assemblyman Billy Jones, whose leadership and advocacy helped secure $300,000 in state funding to propel Phase II forward. His commitment to veterans, history, and the North Country continues to make a real difference.
The Clinton County American Legion has been a critical partner in this public-private collaboration with the The Town of Plattsburgh. Their enduring dedication to honoring service is a cornerstone of this effort.
A special shoutout to John Rock, a tireless champion of this project. His passion, energy, and leadership have kept the flame burning bright from day one.
A big thank-you to AES Northeast, right here in Plattsburgh, for turning the committee’s vision into an actionable blueprint. Their engineering team has taken dreams off the page and into reality — check out the stunning 3D imaging of the new Remembrance Plaza!
We’re proud to announce that bid documents are going out, marking a major milestone in our journey. But we aren’t done yet — we still need our community to step up and support this historic project.
Gratitude also goes out to the Clinton County Historical Association as we work toward USA 250!Special thanks to our friends at UFirst Federal Credit Union and Dannemora Federal Credit Union. Your support — especially for co-hosting the Inaugural Michigan Fest — is helping to support the development of the Battlefield Memorial Gateway.
