Plaque Unveiling Celebrates Milton Keynes Development Corporation
A plaque commemorating the achievements of the Milton Keynes Development Corporation (MKDC) will be unveiled on October 23, 2023, at 12:00 in the Fred Roche Gardens, located off Midsummer Boulevard. The event will celebrate the pivotal role MKDC played in shaping the city of Milton Keynes, which has become a vibrant community since its establishment.
The plaque, designed by local artist and designer Justin Tunley, features the original MKDC boundary and incorporates the iconic axehead logo at its center. It also includes an inscription recognizing the contributions of the skilled individuals who laid the foundation for the city now known for its innovative planning and design.
Frank Henshaw, the last General Manager of MKDC, and Lee Shostak, who served as Chief Planner during the early days of MKDC, will take part in the unveiling ceremony. The event will also attract notable guests, including the Deputy Mayor, local Members of Parliament, Council Members, and several individuals who were instrumental in the development of Milton Keynes between 1967 and 1992.
The unveiling aims to honor the legacy of MKDC, which significantly contributed to the growth and identity of Milton Keynes over the decades. MKDC was established to oversee the development of the new city, and its efforts have since transformed the area into a thriving urban center. The plaque serves as a reminder of the vision and hard work that went into creating a place residents are proud to call home.
Attendees can expect a meaningful ceremony that not only celebrates the past but also looks forward to the future development of Milton Keynes. The event underscores the importance of community involvement and recognition of historical contributions as the city continues to evolve.
