Created by the Town of Plattsburgh to recognize
and honor residents who have served or who are
serving in the United States Armed Services.
This program is non-political and non-partisan and is
intended to serve as a living memorial to those
service men and women from the Town of
Plattsburgh.
As an ongoing program, applications will be
accepted at any time by those who wish to sponsor
a banner. Banners shall be displayed from May to
November and measure 36” x 72”. Banners will be
displayed and stored by the Town for a 2 year period
and returned to the applicant at time of
decommission. After all available spaces are filled, a
waitlist will be maintained on a first come first served
basis.
Street banners will be installed honoring Town of
Plattsburgh residents (past or present) who meet
the requirements. A completed application and
supplemental documents must be provided for
review by a committee. Banners are limited to 1 per
serviceperson for a fee of $225.
Honoree must be:
• Military personnel
• Currently serving, honorably discharged, retired or deceased
Honoree must meet one of the following criteria:
• Be a current resident of the Town of Plattsburgh
• Have previously lived in the Town as a long-term resident (20 years or more)
Residency requirement can be waived if Honoree is a graduate of Beekmantown, Peru
or Saranac Central Schools who lived in the Town of Plattsburgh or a resident at time of
birth.
Each application is subject to approval by the Plattsburgh Hometown Heroes
Committee.
Locations for displaying the banners will be determined by the Plattsburgh Hometown
Heroes Committee. Available space is determined solely by the Town. A map outlining
where each banner is hung shall be made available to all residents on the website and at
Town Hall.
