Someone in charge had a vision/plan to make changes and the statue was not part of it.
This is common as more liberals/leftist are hired into positions of power.
Cities/towns throw away lots of history and art to go Modern or another direction.

That’s a good possibility. When there is a large renovation project, everything being torn down or taken out is just thrown into dumpsters and taken to the landfill. Construction workers often retrieve some of the discarded items and take them home.
There is a large university in the near door county and they are constantly doing renovations on one building or another. The construction debris landfill is located in my rural county and trucks come to the landfill daily to dump stuff from renovation projects at the university. People aren’t supposed to remove items from the landfill either. However, I can tell you our county offices haven’t had to purchase new office furniture in years. The number of desks, office chairs, meeting room furniture, etc that ends up at the landfill is just amazing. All is in good shape but is just being tossed due to renovations or a new dean was to redecorate. Also, sometimes their formal gardens are redone and the old benches and statutes are taken out and much of it ends up in the landfill.
Another example is an industrial plant nearby. OSHA requires they replace their ladders every two years. The old ones go to the landfill. Have you priced ladders lately!? Many people who work at the landfill (along with their family & friends) have nice practically new ladders just because of an OSHA rule. It’s amazing how much good stuff goes to the construction debris landfills.
