Grand Forks to get new signage

A new city sign has been chosen by Grand Forks city councillors at their regular meeting, May 21. Councillors had a couple sign designs to choose from, but ultimately went for sign that has a black face and brick base. The rock face is made from manufactured rock.

After some discussion, slogan “Settle Down” will be added to the design. Coun. Bob Kendel raised concerns that the term settle down would have negative connotations and voted against the addition.

Council plans on adding solar and interior lighting for an additional $10,000 per sign.
