"New signs will 'brand' Montgomery County public facilities"

Times Herald 12/3/13:
NORRISTOWN — The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to hire a company in Georgia to create signs that will be hung around public places in the county.

The commissioners approved a payment of $44,830 for the signs, which are being designed by Creative Impressions of Norcross, Ga. Forty-six signs will be placed across the county at various public places.

“I think it’s important if county tax dollars are going to sustain these sites, that people know they are walking into a Montgomery County facility,” commissioners Chairman Josh Shapiro said.

There are no final designs yet, and commissioners have seen preliminary sketches. What exactly will go on the signs is still being worked out.

Revealed here for the first time is the sign design the County Commissioners have decided upon in order to identify public spaces owned by Montgomery County:


The 46 signs will cost just under $1,000 each. Shapiro said the commissioners’ plan on having them installed by county employees which will save the county money.

Additional money can be saved by simply selling off the County places.
