The Valley Grande City Council has wrapped up its 2020 Vandalism Case at the City Park.

Councilwoman Sara Day made the announcement at the Valley Grande City Council meeting on Monday

Day talked to office of Dallas County District Attorney Robert Turner Sr. and Jim Ransom, who works in the DA’s office over the matter, requesting damages.

Day did not reveal the amount of damages she asked for, but said the amount settled was less.  She ordered  a bigger and brighter Christmas than the one that got damaged. The tree came from a company in Birmingham.
