The Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Commission is continuing the process of finding the best parcel of land for whatever memorial may be built in Newtown to honor the 26 lives lost on 12-14.  The Commission has looked at some town and state owned property, but is also seeking private land donation offers as well. 

The Newtown Bee reports that a subcommittee of the Commission has set a deadline of August 28th for the donation intent. 

The Commission previously laid out some criteria for the land.  It includes being secluded but accessible to infrastructure, a natural setting and close to Sandy Hook.  The group is looking to create a short list of possibilities and hopes to chose one by the end of the year.
