revenues for the sustainability of the revitalization program. To be

characters per line). The cost for each brick is $75.00. Anyone may

of their immediate families. You may also want to purchase bricks in the
names of your children and grandchildren, laying the groundwork for younger

DuBois and will be visible to thousands of visitors each year. In addition,
