Hometown Hero Banners

Youngwood Borough apologizes to those who have purchased the Hometown Heroes Banners for not having them installed by Memorial Day as stated. 

The Borough realizes a specific date should not have been provided as it was unknown what type of response would be had and what problems may arise with production, etc.

The Borough greatly appreciates and thanks those who supported the program to honor their heroes as the Borough had 80 banners in the initial order.     

Please know the Hometown Heroes Banners will be installed as soon as the banners are received, and a couple other issues are corrected.
