Whitehall will be a bit brighter this holiday season. The star/cross replacement project has been completed and will be lit following Thanksgiving this year. The star/cross had been a Whitehall holiday-season staple for the city for decades until it deteriorated to the point where it was no longer usable in recent years. Efforts to replace the star/cross began in 2019 and the project was finished in October, in time for the 2020 holiday season.
