George Banks Boulevard renamed for town's first Black councilman
Kaine honors George Banks, the first Black councilman and mayor of the town, with a renamed Scranton Avenue and Edgemont Avenue stretch. Banks, veteran of the Vietnam War, moved to Front Royal in 1974 with Cornelia Banks, raised a family, and served multiple council terms from 1977 to 1986 and 1994 to 1996, plus two mayoral terms until 2000. He died January 13 this year. Cornelia recalls his drive to run for office, and Kaine underscores Banks as a bridge-builder whose legacy inspires future leaders. Cornelia Banks notes the street sign from her home as she reflects on his impact.
