Murphy Veterans Tribute President Mary Pat Elledge says they hope to break ground on the project this year.

The resolution, approved at the Tuesday, May 21, meeting, would waive all city-assessed permits and inspection fees associated with the construction and provide ongoing landscape maintenance once the Tribute is complete.
