Batesville uses Belterra funds for Vets recognition program

Batesville, In. — Batesville common council approved a Belterra grant for a “Veteran’s Banner Program” similar to the “Portals of the Past” program. The program will be available this year and is free to the family of any service member.

Director of community development Steven Harmeyer explains there will be a total of 55 banners situated in a walking pattern in downtown. The banners will be displayed between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day and in some cases for multiple seasons.

Applications will be reviewed by a nomination committee on a first-come-first-served basis. For more information email [email protected] or call 812-933-6116.
