The municipality’s new logo will soon be seen on signs around the township.
Council agreed at the July 8 meeting to accept a quote from Cedar Signs to provide new township entrance signs for a cost of $676 each.
“There are eight signs in total to be replaced across the township. The current sign structures are in good shape and new signs can be installed in the seven original locations,” explained business development and marketing coordinator Crystal Ellis. “The additional sign will replace the entrance sign located at [Wellington Road 8] and [Wellington Road 17].”
Five quotes were received for the project, which was included in the 2014 budget, she said. The signs will be made of an aluminum/plastic composite “which is impervious to moisture and rust,” stated Ellis. The reflective sheeting has a manufacturer rated engineer grade of 5+ years, after which time it will lose reflective intensity gradually.
Ellis said the signs, which will also promote the township’s website, will be installed by Mapleton staff.
“We’re soon to be surrounded by our new logo,” noted Mayor Bruce Whale.
