“The total finished product would be a number of signs around the city directing people to various locations, obviously for visitors and newcomers to the community,” Metz said. “These signs would help them find their way around the city and help them arrive at their destination, whether it be a cultural event or a shopping district.”
The mayor explained the impetus for the project was signage was an item identified in the city’s comprehensive plan to help visitors to Wapakoneta. He also provided several examples of himself helping visitors find churches, schools and the shops downtown.
Metz also noted businesses could provide some funding for the signs since it could help locate shopping areas, such as the historic downtown, and other historic businesses.
One councilor voiced his pleasure with moving forward with the project.
“I think this project is outstanding,” Councilor-at-large Tom Finkelmeier Jr. said. “For many communities, this is the kind of thing that you see when you drive through a small community that sets them apart and shows that this community cares about the details.”
During his presentation, Myers said the signage may not be needed for locals, but it has been identified as a possible asset for the community.
“For those people who have lived here all their lives, they have no problem finding their way from Bellefontaine Street to Wapakoneta High School, Grandview Plaza, the Family YMCA or the historic downtown — but it is very challenging for people coming off of Interstate 75 for first time to be able to find their way around Wapakoneta,” Myers said.
