Members of the Maricopa Youth Council and the Youth Mock City Council were on hand Wednesday afternoon at the City of Maricopa’s Public Works facility, to see a vision come to fruition.
In fact, it was their vision.
Nearly four years ago, in May of 2018, as part of the Youth Mock City Council, Maricopa youngsters put together a proposal for a monument that would welcome visitors to the town.
During that initial meeting nearly four years ago, members of the Youth Mock City Council were grilled on the cost of the monument, how it would be lighted and many other facets of the project.
Deanna Lemorin, who’s currently the Maricopa Youth Council’s Chairperson, served as mayor on the Mock City Council in 2018 when the idea was presented. She was on hand Wednesday night to see the council’s idea take physical shape.
