Summary
Council Member Carol Campbell is leading a village program to place veterans’ banners on street poles; the village seeks about 50 orders to lower per-unit cost, with applications on the village website and assistance available for those who cannot afford the fee.
The village’s Veterans Banner Program, led by Council Member Carol Campbell and the Human Services department, is seeking applications to place commemorative banners on street poles honoring veterans by name, dates and conflict served. The program aims to place roughly 50 banners to reduce per-unit pricing; the stated package price is about $128 per banner and includes hardware (poles and clamps). The meeting extended the program’s application deadline to June 1, 2026, and identified likely placement corridors including Broadview, Route 303 and Route 21.
Program guidelines include photo specifications (5x7 or 8x10, high resolution) and restrictions on attire/logos displayed on banners; the program is limited to veterans. The board discussed offering support to applicants who cannot afford the fee and directing residents to the village website to apply. The board aims to install banners before July 4, 2026, using batch ordering to reduce cost.
