ST. LOUIS, July 20, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Gavin Park, Ward 1 City Council Member, was highly instrumental in the City's designation of becoming a "Purple Heart City" during his tenure of serving the City of Maryland Heights from 2016-2020.
"This was one of my proudest moments and accomplishments while having the honor to represent my great city of Maryland Heights and the Ward 1 residents. Of course, this was not a solo effort as many different individuals were a part of this venture. This gain is a true testament to the City's effort to recognize those who have sacrificed for our well-being. It just felt right to make this happen for those Purple Heart recipients living in our community and those who visit."
