The Town of New Windsor is rooted in rich history.  Starting in 2024, our New Windsor Hero’s Banner Program will give families, friends, and all those who live in New Windsor, the opportunity to show and share in that history by displaying a spectacular banner in honor or memory of those from our town who honorably serve or who have honorably served our nation.  If you wish to share your pride and allow all of New Windsor to share in your pride, by purchasing a banner in honor of your local “Hero” to be flown high along one of the Town’s main traffic corridors, please submit the application below.

Costs, Size and Installation

The cost of a 24"x48" full color double-sided banner, mounting hardware, installation and display for a period of one year is $250. After one year, the banner will be returned to the family or applicant. Banners will be installed/taken down quarterly.
