At a meeting Monday, Hellertown Borough Council continued its discussion about purchasing “hometown hero” banners to display on light poles in honor of local veterans, and ultimately decided the project should become the work of a committee.
You may have seen hometown hero banners in other communities. Simply put, they are banners that recognize local U.S. veterans–both living and deceased. And now, Hellertown officials are going to see whether they can be a new way to honor the service of local men and women.
The large banners hung high above Hellertown’s Main Street–which many Saucon Valley organizations use to advertise their upcoming events–are hung from PPL-owned poles. And because of new requirements by PPL, the approval process for the banners is going to take longer, Hellertown Borough Council learned Tuesday.
