Munford purchases property for Veterans Plaza

The Munford Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously voted to purchase a property owned by First Citizens National Bank to turn into a Veterans Plaza. The property at the southeast corner of Munford Avenue and Tipton Street will serve as an outdoor space with a stage, farmers' market, and bathrooms. The city will purchase the property, which includes a building with a drive-thru, for $127,000 at 0% interest rate for 10 years. A federal grant not exceeding $500,000 and matching city dollars will fund the plaza project.
