Local communities may be able to get federal assistance constructing, restoring or maintaining memorials to veterans, law enforcement and firefighters.
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-Utica) has introduced a bill to authorize two-million dollars a year over five years to help governments and non-profits that secure matching funds for memorial projects.
The “Remembering Our Local Heroes Act” would provide grants of no more than $100,000 for an initial period of five years.
The bill from the Utica Republican would provide grants to recipients who also provide non-Federal matching funds of at least 50 percent to ensure any memorial receiving funds has strong community support.

Now that the pandemic is waning and things are starting to open up again in Minnesota, could a looming state government shutdown close things down, just in time for the 4th of July?
Most parts of our lives here in Minnesota are FINALLY starting to reopen again after our 15-month battle with the pandemic.
