Verona’s plan also calls for a new civic plaza to provide a gathering place and create an identity for the downtown. WHEN: Monday, July 14, 2003, 12:30 p.m. WHERE: On Main Street in downtown Verona, at the site of the former Brunsell Lumber company, along the former railroad tracks, now the military Ridge Bicycle Trail.
