County launches Operation Greenlight to honor veterans
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the launch of \"Operation Greenlight for Veterans,\" a new initiative aimed at honoring veterans by encouraging residents to display green lights outside their homes from November 4th through November 11th, coinciding with Veterans Day. This initiative, inspired by the National Association of Counties, marks the county's first participation in this nationwide effort.

Brent Burrowski from building management confirmed plans to install green lights at the government center and the old courthouse. The proposal also includes extending the initiative to other county buildings, although the feasibility of this expansion remains uncertain due to potential costs.

Roger, a representative involved in the project, highlighted the challenges of sourcing solar-powered lighting solutions for the initiative. He emphasized the importance of including the Veterans Memorial in the lighting plan, which was met with agreement from the committee.

The project does not have a dedicated budget, and costs will be drawn from general operating funds. Officials agreed to provide estimated costs for the next board meeting to ensure transparency and planning.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote in favor of the proclamation, reflecting a collective commitment to honor the sacrifices of veterans and promote community engagement in this meaningful initiative.
