Thanks to a $ 225,000 grant , a spot on Court Square where grass doesn ’ t grow easily will soon be the home of the Veterans Memorial Plaza .
Mary Beck , administrator and project manager for the Coshocton County Commissioners , said the plaza will be approximately 55 feet by 75 feet and will feature lighting and brick inlay .
“ When it is finished , it will look like it ’ s been there as long as the courthouse has ,” she said .
The lighting at the corners of the plaza will match the lights on Three Rivers Bridge .
“ The lights are so expensive ,” Beck said . “ We would like to replace more in the city too , but we need to take things slowly .”
Beck said the plaza will be used for community band concerts and other events throughout the year .
The veterans council is purchasing the signs for the plaza , and the Blue Star Mothers will be purchasing a memorial to place in the plaza .
“ I can imagine lots of uses for the plaza such as meetings or exercise classes or for people to just sit and read and enjoy being outside ,” Beck said .
She also thought people might inquire about using it for weddings , as the gazebo on Court Square is a popular place for couples to get married .
“ We are working with Our Town Coshocton to make Coshocton like Hallmark Christmas and are adding items yearly for this goal ,” Beck said .
From mid-November through the end of January , a temporary ice skating rink will be installed on the plaza .
“ A company approached us about it ,” Beck said . “ They bring in the rink , and families can rent skates to use the rink . We will get a small part of their profit , but we really have little to do with the skating rink .”
“ I can imagine lots of uses for the plaza such as meetings or exercise classes or for people to just sit and read and enjoy being outside .”

Beck said other places who have had the skating rinks have had vendors set up along the rink .
“ They sold kettle corn and hot chocolate , things like that ,” she said . “ I would love to see that happen here too . The cost of skate rental wasn ’ t much and would be something families could enjoy together .
“ The Veterans Memorial Plaza is going to be so pretty when it ’ s finished .” our team takes care of the communication for you !
