New City Entrance Sign Is Dedicated
Foundation: Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Gebbie Foundation
"It is a 25-year dream come true," says Mike Roberts, a member of the Jamestown Rotary Club, of a welcome sign that's been in the works for a quarter-century.
The sign, which sits at the main entrance to the North Dakota city, is made up of two 100-year-old metal trusses that were once part of a train bridge that spanned the Chadakoin River, the Jamestown Post-Journal reports.
They're now connected by a stone cap and a matte black cabinet with bright lettering.
The design group that worked on the sign was made up of local architect-engineering firm CPLA, as well as Mike Roberts, Kevin Sixbey, John Healy, and Ruth Lundin with the Rotary Club.
The cost of the sign, which was dedicated to the club's 100th anniversary, was covered by the club's fundraising efforts, as well as by private donations.
The city's former director of public works helped secure the land for the sign, and the city council approved the project last fall.
"The club was in search of a meaningful project when the easement was finalized," says Lehman.
"We must thank Gary Lynn, and Lynn Development, for making the property available."
