Buy a Commemorative Bench - Limited Opportunity
A commemorative bench is the perfect way to beautify and functionally accent our community while providing a special place of acknowledgement for a loved one or group. Inscribe one of our commemorative benches with a message of kindness, love, recognition, or hope, providing a lasting tribute to the special people in your life.
Bench Type: Six foot, black and cedar-colored, two-toned bench with smoothly contoured seat and backrest. The UV- and moisture-resistant bench slats are cedar-colored and fabricated of high-grade recycled plastic and is supported by a powder-coated cast black aluminum frame.
Bench Message: Benches will feature a personalized cast bronze plaque that is durable coated to protect from weather exposure and are 8” w x 2” h (size restricted by the manufacturer). The message that is placed on the plaque must not include constitutionally prohibited speech, including and without limitation: “fighting words”, defamatory statements, obscenity, or messages that constitute a “clear and present danger”. Plaques may include the name of the individual to be celebrated/memorialized, as well as dates and a saying or poem.
Installation: Bench orders will be placed in bulk to meet minimum purchasing requirements. Delivery will be based upon manufacturer production and shipping times with installation provided by our Public Works Department upon receipt of product.
Bench Life Span: The bench and plaque will remain the property of the City of Fort Wright at all times. The City will maintain the bench and plaque in proper working order for a period of 10 years. At the end of the 10-year period the City will, at its own discretion, remove and/or replace the bench and/or plaque.
