Return to 'Soldier City' branding

The city is retiring the 'Your Center Place' tagline and switching to 'Soldier City' on July 4. The change phases in gradually as shirts, cards, and signs wear out, so taxpayers aren't stuck with a big replacement bill — but the water tower still needs attention.

Impact analysis
Kept cheap on purpose — the city is only swapping the tagline on items as they naturally get replaced instead of paying to redo everything at once.
Taxpayers, since the gradual rollout avoids a large one-time branding expense.
