NFBC Unveils Lewiston-Queenston Bridge 50th Anniversary Poster Art
LEWISTON, NY/QUEENSTON, ON – Today the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission (NFBC) unveiled its Lewiston-Queenston Bridge 50th Anniversary poster art, which is now available for free download at www.niagarafallsbridges75.com.
“This poster art is yet another fun way to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge span,” said NFBC Chairperson Thomas G. Pryce. “We also plan to distribute free copies of it to local students through upcoming educational outreach at many area elementary schools.”
About the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission:
A Joint Resolution of the 1938 U.S. Congressional Third Session created the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission. The Extra Provincial Corporations Act of the Province of Ontario, Canada licenses the NFBC. Canada and the U.S. are equally represented on the NFBC by an eight-member Board of Commissioners. Initially established to finance, construct and operate the Rainbow Bridge, the Commission proved sufficiently efficient and effective to assume responsibilities for the Whirlpool Rapids (Lower) and Lewiston-Queenston Bridges. The NFBC builds and maintains all facilities for Customs and Immigration functions on both sides of the international border. The NFBC is self-supportive, largely through user fees (tolls) and private-sector tenant leases. NFBC is federally chartered to conduct international commercial financial transactions and issue federal (U.S.) tax-exempt bonds.
