Overland Park is set to adopt a new official flag after the Committee of the Whole voted in favor of designating "Flag 1A" as the city's emblem. The decision, made during a recent meeting, will move forward to the city council for final approval on September 8.

The motion to adopt Flag 1A was met with enthusiasm from committee members, who expressed appreciation for the community's engagement in the flag selection process. The discussion highlighted the significance of the Clock Tower, a well-known symbol of Overland Park, and how it resonates with residents across the city.

The committee emphasized the importance of inclusivity in the decision-making process, encouraging all voices to be heard. The approval of the flag is seen as a step towards fostering a stronger community identity.

As the city prepares for the upcoming council meeting, residents can look forward to the official adoption of Flag 1A, marking a new chapter in Overland Park's representation.
