Waukesha Parade Memorial at Grede Park

PROJECT SCOPE

The Grede Park Memorial honors the victims of the 2021 Waukesha Parade tragedy with a heart-shaped sculpture formed by six concrete ribbons, each representing one of the six victims. The memorial also features walking paths, a garden, benches, a community-created tile wall, and lighting. 

Through strong local relationships, VJS coordinated with subcontractors and suppliers to secure generous donations, minimizing costs while bringing the memorial to life.

"Thank you so much! Your team did an exceptional job on the project, and we are deeply grateful for your additional donation! Your company’s generosity toward this project has not gone unnoticed. Our community truly appreciates the beautiful memorial you have helped us to create. It stands as a testament to the care and commitment you have poured into this effort. We are so grateful for your partnership and support!"

— Rebecca Pederson, Communications & Engagement Manager, City of Waukesha
