Petersburg opens new park to honor local veterans

PETERSBURG − Against the backdrop of Veterans Day , Petersburg leaders and citizens gathered to dedicate a downtown park designed to honor the city's past, present and future veterans. The Nov. 11 ceremony dedicated Rotary Memorial Peace Park, a 9,700-square-foot former parking lot repurposed into a greenspace in which to relax and reflect.
