Ivanhoe’s Veterans Memorial Hall recently renovated half of its parking lot. The other half will also be renewed once temperatures are warmer according to Ray D. Phillipson, President of the Veteran’s Memorial District Board. He says, “The plans are to get some basketball courts out here so the youth can play.”
Ray also shared that they hope to update the soundproof wall tiles inside the Memorial Building. The Ivanhoe Veteran’s Memorial Hall has been a COVID testing location with the help of funding which was approved by the the Tulare County Board of Supervisors. We hope to see the complete parking lot renovation along with indoor updates to walls and floors.
