Three flags are on schedule to be up before Memorial Day near the northwest corner of Court and North Washington streets, Seneca County commissioners stated during their board meeting Monday.
"We plan to fly the U.S. flag, the POW flag and the Ohio flag," Board President Ben Nutter said. "The flagpoles will be made out of recycled content."
About $5,000 will go toward the flagpoles, which were purchased from Centec Cast Metal Products in Fremont, County Administrator Tanya Hemmer said.
Nutter announced a $27,577 funding appropriation that will in part cover the flagpole purchase.
In addition, $22,000 of the funds will be used to furnish the new youth center, Hemmer said.
It wasn't decided at the time whether the $27,577 appropriation was coming from a $50,000 fund set aside by the Ottawa, Sandusky Seneca Solid Waste Management District for use on recycled product, Hemmer said.
