Four Friday seminars for local veterans begin this week, and more than 50 new parking spots will be designated for Purple Heart recipients later this month as Manatee County Government honors the 40,000 veterans who call Manatee County home. During a brief ceremony at 3pm on April 18 at the Downtown Central Library, officials will dedicate the first of 53 designated parking spots for Purple Heart recipients. The parking spots will be located near the entrance of many County-owned public buildings. The signs are the result of a public-private partnership between the County and the Wounded Warrior’s Family Support Program, according to Veterans Services Manager Lee Washington. County Commissioners next Tuesday will consider a proclamation declaring Manatee County as a Purple Heart County.
