GLOVERSVILLE Â With the official launching of the Hometown Heroes banner program, locals have a chance to honor service members while also helping beautify downtown through purchasing commemorative banners.
The banners will hang on city-owned lampposts throughout the downtown core and will feature the veteran’s names, rank, years served, photo, and earned medals.
The design of the banners is meant to honor combat veterans while seamlessly adding to the historic aesthetic of downtown’s existing architecture.

GLOVERSVILLE Locals will soon have a chance to honor service members and help beautify downtown through the Hometown Heroes banner program pitched this week by Downtown Development Specialist James Hannahs and approved by the Common Council.
Hannahs outlined details of the proposed Hometown Heroes banner program to the Common Council on Tuesday. The program would see community members purchase banners to be displayed downtown featuring the photo, name, branch, rank, years of service and medals of local service members.
The banners would be hung year-round on the decorative lamp posts downtown on North and South Main Streets and East and West Fulton Streets. Hannahs noted that the 79 lamp posts downtown could bear two banners each, allowing for the display of up to 158 banners.
