Hometown Hero Banners Reception 2026

The Ogdensburg, NY City Council held a Hometown Hero Banners Reception on April 23, 2026, to honor local veterans and service members through a banner program. The event included distribution of banners depicting past and present armed forces members, with families sharing personal stories about their heroes. The Department of Public Works was tasked with hanging the banners along the main thoroughfare by Memorial Day, with plans to keep them displayed through Veterans Day, weather permitting. While the meeting focused on community recognition and ceremonial activities, there were no discussions or decisions related to procurement, contracts, or budget allocations.
