First Selectman Fred Camillo has announced plans to honor former President George H.W. Bush with a statue in his hometown of Greenwich.

The 41st president of the United States, who grew up in Greenwich, attended Yale University and served in the Navy during World War II.

Camillo said the statue will be placed at the town's veteran's memorial, located at the intersection of Greenwich Avenue and Arch Street.

During a recent Board of Selectmen meeting, Camillo described the project as long overdue. He did not provide a timeline for the statue's construction.
