Dear Lansdowne Friends and Neighbors,
Happy February! I hope you all celebrated a joyous Valentine’s Day and had the opportunity to support our local businesses in your celebrations.
As we emerge from the cold winter and move into the first flowers in March, Lansdowne Borough Council and the Boards are busy planning for activities this spring.
Council Recognition:
Over the next few weeks, Lansdowne Borough Council Members and Mayor Byrne will celebrate with the many neighbors of Irish-American Heritage and host a flag raising on March 12th at noon.

Council would also like to recognize the many women in leadership in our community on Council, the achievements in various professions, and also the leadership in numerous community organizations.

Borough Council would also like to join with Legion Post 65 and thank the many donors who supported the American Legion Hometown Heroes Banner Campaign. Please take a moment to view the banners hanging on North Lansdowne from Veteran’s Park to Greenwood. Read more about the program HERE.
