If you've driven down Mitchell Street recently, you may have noticed there are American Flags hanging from a number of utility poles.

We're excited to announce the launch of our new 'Street Flags Program', which will feature American flags displayed throughout the City at various times during the year.

The flags will be flown to commemorate America 250 and honor significant patriotic holidays and observances, including Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, and others.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to City resident Jim Streeter, whose generous donation supported the program and helped make this initiative possible.

As we look to the future, we hope to continue growing and expanding the Street Flags Program to include additional streets throughout the City, allowing even more residents and visitors to experience these patriotic displays!
