News - Trenton - Quinte West Mayor John Williams joined municipal staff and members of the Trenton Kinsmen Club last week to officially announce a new digital community events sign on Dixon Drive. In early spring, the Economic Development and Revitalization Committee brought the idea to municipal council for their approval. The original sign, in use for at least 25 years, was constructed by the Kinsmen Club and sold to the municipality for one dollar, with the proviso it would be used to advertise community events. The new sign comes with a price tag of about $60,000 but $10,000 of that was offset by a donation from the local club. The idea received a unanimous thumbsup when the proposal was considered by the club membership. Plans include a installing a flowerbed around the base of the structure. “This sign marks the completion of another step in the aggressive and multifaceted approach to marketing the City of Quinte West,” said Williams in a press release. There is no charge for not-for-profit groups to advertise on the sign and new announcements can be entered using a computer from a remote location. For more information contact the Recreation and Tourism Services Division at 613392-2841, extension 4414.
