In their first sit-down interview since the murder, McNew’s widow, Elda, and his 19-year-old son, Liam, shared special memories. Liam reflected on how his life has changed in the two months since his father’s death.
A large portion of the acquisition was funded through the Department of Defense’s Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration program and the Army Compatible Use Buffer program. These initiatives are dedicated to preserving land surrounding Camp Blanding to ensure it remains compatible with military training operations.“I applaud our team for protecting the land and thank Camp Blanding for its partnership, which made the protection possible,” DeFoor said.
The contribution is part of a $1 million grant established last year by the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds to support conservation land purchases over a ten-year period.Kelsey Bingham is a multiplatform journalist from Atlanta, Georgia.
