https://www.shawlocal.com/ogle-county-news/2026/03/19/ogle-county-board-bid-for-grant-funded-memorial-plaza-project-approved/ The Ogle County Board unanimously approved a $200,700 low bid Wednesday from O’Brien Civil Works for a Memorial Plaza project on the south side of the historic Ogle County Courthouse property. The project will be funded by a grant for green space at the former location of the Ogle County Jail that was demolished in recent years. Any remaining costs will come from the county’s long-range capital expense fund. The Memorial Plaza will include a circle and sidewalk going down the side to the front of the memorial. There will be a bronze eagle on a pedestal in the center. The Ogle County Historical Society will also be including a time capsule in the project involving America’s 250th anniversary. Board Long-Range Planning Chairman Don Griffin said the project meets the requirements of the county’s campus plan and the green space grant. The project will have accessible walkways to existing memorials and the Memorial Plaza and also includes lighting for courthouse and memorial areas. “This is something we’ve talked about for quite some time,” Griffin said. “That area is used by Autumn on Parade for people who want to sit or use the food court. It fits very nicely and meets the needs of the county and preserves the green space we have.” The project will be broken into three phases due to needed funds and will involve fundraising. Three benches for the project have already been donated. Landscaping and shrubbery will be included as well. The second phase would include a curved walkway into the memorial from the east, with a total of seven benches. The third phase would include landscaping and trees and shrubs, along with a canopy, the most expensive aspect of the project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ogle County is issuing a request for proposals for the Ogle County Memorial Plaza Project at 105 South 5th Street in Oregon, IL.
