BETHEL— A previous article in the Bethel Citizen asked the question, ‘What to do with Bethel’s bicentennial bricks?’ Following up on this, a few additions have been made.
Firstly, the bricks are actually called Millennial bricks, as they were commemorating the year 2000. The bricks are currently being stored in Highway Garage, and were not available to be photographed for this article. Since the article has been posted, a concerned citizen has called, requesting that the bricks be returned to the families who originally commissioned them.
So far no concrete plans have been made with regard to the bricks themselves, and according to Sharon Jackson, they have only received one call so far with regard to community desires when it comes to the bricks.
