The revitalization of the OB Veterans Plaza is a project overseen by the OBCDC, along with the OB Town Council, OB Mainstreet Association, OB Planning Board, OB Community Foundation, & the OB Historical Society that will last as a place of respect & honor Ocean Beach Veterans Plaza, located at the corner of Newport Avenue and Abbot Street, where Newport meets the beach, was constructed in 1997 as
a memorial to honor those that have served and are still serving in the armed forces. This memorial is currently in disrepair with many of the inscriptions, including a Medal of Honor recipient, being so eroded that they have become illegible. The OBCDC, along with the OB Town Council, OB Mainstreet Association, OB Planning Board, OB Community Foundation, and the OB Historical Society, have set out to rebuild a brand new Veterans Plaza that will last as a place of respect and honor. AFTER 4.5 YEARS OF WORKING WITH SAN DIEGO CITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND THE COMMUNITY, THE OBCDC IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE NEW VETERANS PLAZA DESIGN. We are now in the process of working on actual construction documents to break ground, as well as, fundraising to secure all of the construction costs. Maintenance costs for the future of this plaza will be secured by the donations for each inscription on the wall.
