The Niagara Region division of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced the Niagara Falls Illumination Board will illuminate Niagara Falls tonight, in red, white and blue, in tribute to the life of President Jimmy Carter.
The lightings will take place from 8-8:15, 9-9:15 and 10-10:15 p.m.
The best location to view the lighting is Prospect Point.
Gov. Kathy Hochul also announced that flags would be flown at half-staff in honor of Carter.
“President Jimmy Carter embodied decency and integrity throughout his life of public service,” Hochul said. “I’ll never forget as a teenager meeting him in Buffalo. He was an inspiration to me and so many Americans. Our hearts are with the Carter family during this difficult time.”
Carter died Sunday in Plains, Georgia. He is survived by his children: Jack, Chip, Jeff and Amy; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
