Grand Army Plaza to get $9 million upgrade
Last week, the mayor announced Grand Army Plaza will be getting some touchups — $8.9 million worth of touchups, to be exact.
The project will include a new roof for the Soldier and Sailors Memorial Arch, a repainted and cleaned structure, repairs for the interior staircases, replacements for the lighting and a revamp for all the surrounding landscaping, BK Reader reported.
The last restoration for the plaza was done almost 40 years ago.
