CEMETERY FENCE RESTORATION
With community interest in restoring the Hampton Cemetery fence, which was removed during the recent Highway 65 Improvement Project, the Hampton City Council on October 26th approved designating 1/3 of the estimated cost, up to $10,000, of City funds towards the renovation plan. The Mayor has appointed a community fund raising committee to assist with the balance of expenses associated in the renovation and installation of the fence. Progress of the funding status may be monitored on the sign displayed at the Cemetery.
Check the "Announcements" section of this website for the current balance of funds donated/designated for this project.
Tax deductible donations toward this project may be submitted at Hampton City Hall. Make checks payable to Cemetery Fence Restoration or indicate "Cemetery Fence" in the Memo space.
