Palmyra creates flag fund after local businesses donate toward Fourth of July display
Summary
Residents raised money to display 50 flags in each direction for the town’s 250th celebration; board created a formal fund and recorded $1,125 in donations so far toward an estimated $5,000+ cost.
Volunteers and local businesses are raising money to buy flags for Palmyra’s Fourth of July and 250th celebration, and the town board approved creation of a formal flag fund to receive donations.
The town expects to display 25 flags in each direction on Main Street and similar corridors; estimated cost for the flags was described as a little over $5,000. The board recorded $1,125 in donations collected so far from three local businesses and moved to create a municipal fund to hold further contributions.
Members asked staff to check with the fire department and tree companies about equipment and assistance to install the flags; volunteers suggested reuse for other holidays once the flags are purchased. The board approved the fund and thanked community organizers for their work.
