Porter board votes to apply for U.S. Army donation program to request static tank display
Summary
After researching other towns' displays, the board voted Feb. 5, 2026, to apply to the U.S. Army Donation Program for a static military tank; Ryan Moore noted towns typically pay shipping and an application is required.
Ryan Moore told the board he has researched other towns' static military displays and reported that the Army donates tanks to towns though shipping costs are typically borne by the recipient. The board voted unanimously to apply to the U.S. Army Donation Program for a static display (tank). Motion to apply was made by Steve Dickey and seconded by Norma Meyer.
The minutes record no formal discussion of placement, insurance, or timeline; staff will need to complete the application and determine shipping and siting logistics if the town is offered a vehicle.
