After more than seven years of planning on a permanent Sandy Hook Memorial, Newton residents will have the chance to vote on, and pass, a $3.7 million proposal at the end of April.

A Facebook Live webinar with a panel that included First Selectman Dan Rosenthal, Newtown Public Building & Site Commission Chair Robert Mitchell, Permanent Memorial Commission Chair Daniel Krauss, the memorials designers Daniel Affleck and Ben Waldo, construction manager Michael MacDonald and landscape architect Tara Vincenta, answered questions Monday about the design process, budgeting and the final design idea for residents to consider in the upcoming vote.
