Saline Main Street will continue to host its Military and Veteran Banner program in 2025 to recognize and honor individuals who are serving or have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Each banner will be double sided, full-color, and custom designed with an image and name of the honoree, along with military branch and dates of service or war/conflict. The banners will be hung in downtown Saline in both Spring (including Memorial Day) and Fall (including Veterans Day). Upon removal in the fall, the banners will be returned to the purchaser, or they can choose to leave the banner with Saline Main Street for re-hanging in the future by paying the annual rehanging fee.
To qualify for the Military and Veteran Banner Program, the honoree must be an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces, have been honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, or died in the line of duty.
The cost of purchasing a banner is $100. There is room for a very limited number of new banners this year so application will be approved on a first-come, first-served basis. Saline Main Street will begin accepting banner applications on March 27. The application acceptance deadline is April 11 or until all available banner locations have been filled. The application form can be found in the “Honoring our Heroes” section of the Saline Main Street website.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
