CASSOPOLIS – Michigan Department of Transportation will be dedicating a portion of M-62 between Cassopolis and Dowagiac as "Veterans Memorial Highway" Friday, May 23, with a ceremony at Beeson Street Park.
VFW Posts in Dowagiac and Cassopolis banded together to request that this section of M-62 be signed as Veterans Memorial Highway to go along with Veterans Memorial Park located along M-62 within this section of highway.
MDOT spokeswoman Julie Hurley said while this stretch of M-62 may have been referred to locally as Veterans Memorial Highway already, it had never been formally recorded with the designation.
The dedication will take place at 2:30 p.m. and will involve area veterans and local legislators.
