ALLENDALE, Mich. â New recommendations were presented but no decisions were made on the future of a controversial Civil War statue at the Allendale Township board meeting on Monday.
In a unanimous vote, trustees approved a request by the Garden of Honor Memorial Committee to hold five additional meetings to further study the three possible solutions and make a final recommendation, which trustees could approve or deny.
