New Monument Sign to Begin Construction
The Village of East Palestine is set to receive a brand new welcome sign at the intersection of N. Market Street and SR 14, replacing the current structure. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid- to late April, with an estimated completion time of 90 days. The new sign, funded by Norfolk Southern last year, was delayed due to permitting issues with the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project is being led by contractor Chris Kline of Dynamic Structures.
The design features three 18-foot width sections, each framed by two square piers that reflect the architectural elements of the local high school. A one-foot-high curb will elevate the sign, creating a clean edge for landscaping and easier maintenance.
Additional elements include gravel spaces at the base, two of which will feature flagpoles, while the center area may be landscaped with a shade tree. Ample planting space in front of each sign will enhance its visual appeal, ensuring that the village name and logo remain clearly visible.
This update will serve as a fresh and welcoming entrance to the village that reflects our branding
