UPDATE: Flag Pole To Remain - No Need To Repair At Veterans Memorial Building

Update 3/7/2023: After this article was published and in a response to a question from ALBB, Harold G. Delamater confirmed that the flag pole does not need repaired or removed, after further inspection.

Construction has begun on the Veteran’s Memorial Building at 413 Main Street. The Veterans announced last week via Harold G. Delamater of the Veterans Memorial Building Committee that the building was undergoing planned renovation to the front porch and landscaping on the grounds.

Now that digging has begun, Harold made another announcement to the media: “The large flag pole in front of Veterans Memorial Building will be taken down this week to repair or replace the base, which appears to be cracked. Upon repair, the pole will be reinstalled.”
