Douglas County scheduled green lighting at five public buildings for Nov. 4 through Veterans Day on Nov. 11. Its Nov. 3 announcement identified four Castle Rock locations and the county facility at Lansing Point in Meridian.
The Castle Rock buildings are the Philip S. Miller Building, Wilcox Street Building, Justice Center and Veterans Service Office at 410 S. Wilcox St. The county joined the National Association of Counties’ Operation Green Light initiative to recognize veterans and draw attention to available assistance.
The county estimated that about 27,000 veterans live in Douglas County, representing 7.7% of the population. Its Veterans Service Office helps residents navigate benefits and other support. Residents and businesses were invited to take part with a green light of their own.
