Paver sales are moving right along and we hope to complete sandblasting on the first group in January, depending on the weather. The deadline to submit payment and applications to Town Hall for this first group is Dec. 30.
The Veterans Committee recently expanded eligibility for the "individual veterans pavers." The application form is green and the cost is $100 (free for veterans who were KIA, MIA or POW.) The eligibility criteria for living and deceased veterans now includes:
- Any veteran who is or was a Jasper County resident
- Any veteran who is or was a family member of a Jasper County resident, even if the veteran never resided in the county.
- Any veteran who is or was employed in Jasper County even if the veteran never resided in the county.
"Thank you veterans" pavers are also available for any individual or family, any group or organization, or any business, etc. There are only about 200 pavers in this section and this offer will not be repeated. The application form is yellow and the cost is $250.
Paver forms are available at Ridgeland Town Hall and Hardeeville City Hall. Please contact me at 843-726-3200 if you have any questions.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Gary W. Hodges
Mayor of Ridgeland
