Mayor Chad A. Repco proclaimed a day in honor of Carson McCloskey and the borough council voted to contribute $1,500 toward McCloskey's Eagle Scout project: a permanent stone-and-timber "Welcome to Hollidaysburg" sign to be installed along State Route 36 on property of the Blair Regional YMCA.

In his proclamation, Mayor Repco described Carson McCloskey's project as "not just a requirement fulfillment, but a gift to Hollisburg, an enduring symbol of welcome." The mayor congratulated McCloskey for earning the Eagle Scout rank and thanked him for the project. McCloskey and others on the dais received the proclamation and applause.

Council previously discussed a borough contribution and a motion to provide $1,500 toward the project was made and seconded during the meeting; the council voice vote recorded "Aye" and the manager later confirmed a $1,500 check. The donation was presented during council business, and council members publicly thanked McCloskey.

Ending: Council asked the recipient and project volunteers to remain in contact with borough staff for logistics and final receipt processing.
