The town of Davidson has begun installing new signs and banners around town bearing the new town logo adopted earlier this year. This week, the empty sign holder in front of Town Hall got its sign back.
The signs on Main Street, South Main Street, and the Exit 30 area, are among a variety of new marketing materials that town officials are rolling out, including parking and town “wayfinding” signs. Also coming in the next couple of weeks: A new town website for visitors and a town-sponsored calendar site.
The new town logo and signage were developed with the help of consulting firm Arnett Muldrow & Associates of Greenville, S.C., and Davidson-based Bizzell Design Inc.
