A very generous d
onation from Rolla Asphalt of $37,000 in materials and labor to pave the new parking lot at Veterans Memorial Park located on Southview Drive in Rolla is a testament that great things can be accomplished in a community when everyone works toward the common good for all – especially when it comes to our U.S. veterans on Veterans Day.
(Pictured are members of Rolla Asphalt and Yoakum Dump Trucking generously donated both materials and labor (more than $37,000 worth) while paving the new Veterans Memorial Park parking lot on Friday, Nov. 6. The 10-acre park is located on Southview Drive off Hwy. 0 in Rolla).
An asphalt paving crew lead by Darren Morris and Tom Pierce of Rolla Asphalt, together with the efforts of Stacy Yoakum, owner of Yoakum Dump Trucking, repaved the large parking lot in preparation of the Dedication of Veterans Memorial Park on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.
"Rolla Asphalt and Yoakum Dump Trucking stepped up to the plate not only for our Veterans whom we are honoring at the Dedication on Nov. 11, but also the entire Rolla community," said Rolla Mayor Bill Jenks, III, who will be the master of ceremonies at the Dedication on Nov. 11. "I can’t thank these two companies enough for this huge contribution to the first phase of Veterans Memorial Park."
In addition to the work performed by Rolla Asphalt and Yoakum Dump Trucking on Friday, thousands of dollars more in labor and materials were donated by Capital Quarry and Smith Sand & Gravel, LLC (donation of white rock for the base); Daniels Construction Company (hauling of rock); Maggi Construction (installation of curbs, gutter and parking lot entrance) and Rolla Ready Mix (concrete for the curb and gutter). "A special thanks also goes to all of these businesses who gave generously towards the project," said Mayor Jenks.
The members of the City’s Public Works Department also spent many months, and even some weekends grading and preparing the 10-acre park and parking lot."The Public Works Department should be applauded for the outstanding job they have done to prepare the first phase of the park for the dedication on Nov. 11," said Mayor Jenks.
The entire Rolla and Phelps County community, along with surrounding cities and counties, are invited to attend the dedication of Veterans Memorial Park this Wednesday, Nov. 11 (Veterans Day) at 11 a.m. on Southview Drive (located off Hwy. 72).
A copy of the program for the dedication is available on the City of Rolla’s Website at www.rollacity.org.
