PORTSMOUTH The city expects to receive about $13.2 million in federal funds from the latest stimulus package, but it’s not yet clear how the millions can be spent.
City Manager Karen Conard said the federal government is still developing the guidelines that will direct New Hampshire municipalities how they can spend the money.
Despite not having the guidelines yet, city staff is preparing for when the “guidance does come,” Conard said Monday.
“It will behoove us to have a list of potential projects and uses,” Conard said.
The city is expected to receive about $13.2 million from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CARES) Act of 2021.
I’d like to propose a memorial. Somewhere in the woods near Osprey Landing and Spinnaker Point, not far from the water tower, this city should erect a small granite monument. “At this spot on the afternoon of January 30, 1981,” a brass plate should read, “a miracle happened.” That’s all it will say. There might be the image of a jet bomber, but no more words.
The goal of a good memorial is to both honor someone or some event, but also to continually spark interest in the past. Unfortunately, we tend to memorialize tragedy and disaster while forgetting the teachable close calls. The fact that there were no casualties when an FB-111A jet bomber crashed into the most populated part of Portsmouth is exactly the reason we need to remember the event, to study it, to talk about it, and to memorialize it.
