In coordination with the San Gabriel Veterans’ Memorial Coalition, in July 2024,
the City Council approved the recommended location for placement of a
Veterans Memorial in Plaza Park. In July 2025, the Council approved an
agreement with Landscape Architect DVDCreative (DVDC) for the development
of two conceptual designs for the Memorial. The two conceptual designs were
presented to the City Council in February 2026, followed by presentations to
the Historic Preservation and Cultural Resource Commission and Design Review
Commission. DVDC has prepared an updated design incorporating the
feedback received at the various public meetings.
