Alan Frost Public Works will change this to read Senior Center. The letters on the front of the building were installed by George Lay Sign Company and they are working on a cost estimate. Ted said the way finding signs are targeted so the driver passing by can read them safely and are meant to direct people to the Welcome Center for more specific location directions. He said at this point there will be no changes to the signs. Ted stated additional signs would be a distraction. Discussion was held. Eleanor Underwood stated the Board appreciated Ted’s explanation, and his attention to the signs here which will be very helpful.
