Flag Policy in Laconia Could be Split into Two Ordinances
Laconia could soon have a new flag and banner ordinance to inform the display of local, state, national and other insignia.
The city’s potential flag policy was split into two separate ordinances on May 13th at the regular city council meeting: one which will govern the flag poles at City Hall and Veterans Square and a separate ordinance around the display of banners from lampposts and other fixtures.
As it stands, the policy regarding sites including City Hall and Veterans Square will likely restrict flags flown to include the U.S. flag, the New Hampshire state flag, the City of Laconia flag and the Prisoners of War/Missing in Action flag.
