The Daily Freeman reports that the New York state Department of Motor Vehicles unveiled on June 28 new Mid-Hudson regional license plates as part of a series of 10 special license plates depicting regions across the state. DMW Commissioner Mark J.F. Schroeder said, “Every region of our state has something unique and interesting about it, and we are happy to celebrate that uniqueness by making these new license plates available for New York drivers.... These also allow drivers to put their own unique touch on their vehicles and show pride for the place they live.” There is an additional fee for custom plates and New York is creating more than 200 custom plates for branches of the military and veterans, counties and regions of New York State, professions, causes, and sports teams. Custom plates can also be ordered by mail or by calling the agency’s Custom Plates office at (518) 402-4838. Read more about this story in the Daily Freeman.
