The City website says, “Due to this work, the Family Fountain is re quired to br moved out of St. George’s Square until the DTIRP Construction and streetscaping have been completed in early 2028.
“Starting the week of October 6, the bronze elements, including the family sculpture, frog, drinking basin, and plaque, will be removed from the base using a crane, packed and transported to an arts conservator studio for storage and conservation. Portions of the concrete may be removed to facilitate the utility work, with the remainder of the concrete being removed in Spring of 2026.”
