Hometown Heroes
Chalfont Borough Council is excited to present the Hometown Heroes Program honoring our local Veterans. The Chalfont Borough Hometown Heroes Banner Program is a living tribute created for the community to recognize and honor our Veterans who are either currently serving or who had served our country in the United States Armed Forces.
To qualify, a Veteran, living or deceased, must have had a connection to the Borough of Chalfont. They must reside in Chalfont Borough, or the person purchasing the Banner must reside in Chalfont Borough. The Banner will be 24” x 48” heavy vinyl, printed the same on both sides, and will display the service person’s photograph, include their full name, branch of the Military and the era of service (WWI, WWII, Vietnam, etc.) Banners will be displayed from May through Veterans Day in November in observance of all Military Branch birthdays. Banners will be removed and stored until the same period in the following year(s), if not too worn. Banners can then be returned to the applicant, if so desired.
Please fill out the application form and follow the directions for securing this tribute to your veteran. The applications will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis due to limited pole space.
Request for Qualifications
The Borough of Chalfont is requesting Qualifications from qualified consultants or consultant teams to complete the “Chalfont Borough Parking Consolidation & Streetscape Plan”.
