A proposed but incomplete concept of a Town of Liberty welcome sign
Monticello, NY – More than 50 welcome signs and historical markers will be installed across the County through the new Sullivan Signs program.
The Sullivan County Legislature awarded 13 towns and villages with funding for projects in the program’s inaugural year. There will not be a second round as the funding has been completely subscribed, leveraging over $140,000 in total project costs.
“First impressions count, and many of these signs will be the first sight visitors see in our towns and villages,” said District 9 Legislator Alan Sorensen, chair of the Legislature’s Planning Committee. “These signs will also instill pride, beauty and commerce in our communities, encouraging a pleasant walk through downtowns, along rail trails and past businesses.”
Awards include:
- $5,250 to the Town of Bethel to create and install signs for a historical walking trail highlighting Woodstock-related sites and scenes around the town.
