On Wednesday, August 16, 2023, in a meeting room overflowing with family, friends and fellow community members, wearing Nate's favorite color, The Harrison County Commission signed an official proclamation designating the playground park at Harrison County Parks and Recreation Complex as
"The Nathaniel 'Nate' Layfield Memorial Park."
"
Whereas the Harrison County Commission may have occasion to name or rename Harrison County Parks and Harrison County facilities and Whereas it is appropriate and fitting for the Harrison County Commission to establish an enduring memorial to honor the life of a young person who was taken from us too soon.
Now there be resolved by the Harrison County Commission that the Harrison County Commission authorizes and hereby designates that the name of the playground park located within the Harrison County Parks and Recreation Complex shall now and forever be known as the Nathaniel 'Nate' Layfield Memorial Park."
A plaque will be designed and placed within the park in the near future.
