Beaver Creek to get new welcome signs

Andrew Blank attended the Dec. 8 Beaver Creek council meeting to propose new “Welcome to Beaver Creek” signage at the city’s primary entrances.
A quality Beaver Creek Sportsmans’s Club sign currently welcomes visitors to town but it’s the only one, and Blank is proposing additonal more visible signs for the city.
Of the city’s two main entrances, right now the biggest sign we have is the Rauk’s Hilltop Stop, and we have a small county sign, the green Beaver Creek sign,” he said.
“I was thinking of something larger, something a little more friendly. Something that shows the past, present and future.”
He said he checked prices at Luverne’s Quality Printing, which did the work for The History Center’s photo collage signage.
Quality Printing can do a 4-by-8 outdoor sign with images and text. The signs have a reputation of lasting roughly 10 years.
Council member Pat Bender said she’s been approached by city residents about signage.
“Especially since we’ve been getting a lot of people from out of town using the splash pad, I think it would be a good idea to have one on each end of town,” Bender said.
For two signs, the cost would total approximately $1,000, and the council informally approved the sign project.
Blank said he would seek donations and bring design proposals for the council to approve.
In other sign-related business, the council noted that the new street signs are up at city intersections. The total cost is $2,361 for the new black and white reflective signs and brackets.
The existing signs were approaching 30 years old and were fading.
