Groundwork underway for Ole Storey memorial fountain park
The Kingsley residence hill on the North side park site has been graded to the proper elevation for the Ole Storey memorial fountain. Dredging at the park’s lower end is finished and the dredge removed by La Crosse Dredging, with the firm pursuing a large Winona park contract. The site is being leveled and planted, with soil fill from Black river, and the United States fish station raised for a permanent foundation. Landscape Gardener Richard Iwersen will personally supervise active park work with crews grading humps and preparing for construction.
