Sharing from the City of Ansonia Facebook page:
Veterans’ Memorial Park in downtown is looking finer thanks to a beautification effort by city resident and Ansonia High School student Jason Edwards.
Jason has been involved in Scouting for several years and is a member of Holy Rosary Church’s Venturing Crew 77.
He hopes this project will help him earn Scouting’s highest honor, the coveted Eagle Scout. Only 5 percent of Scouts have earned this award.
His park improvement initiative included raising funds for a new entrance sign, assorted landscaping, including flower boxes, mulching, planting of nearly 20 Arborvitae trees, and a half dozen bird houses added for good measure.
Jason said that Scouting “has taught him great skills such as cooking, personal management, financing, and physical fitness.”
The Mayor’s office and residents of Ansonia would like to extend to Jason a big Thank You for your effort.
Congratulations to Jason Edwards on a job well done!
