The Brownwood City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved funding a wayfinding signage project up to $150,000 of reserve HOT funds and placement of certain signs in the City Right of Way as coordinated with City staff.

The Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce has been developing a community wayfinding signage project for Brownwood for the last several years. The chamber has engaged the company National Sign Plaza for the development and implementation of the signs. The goal of the project is to compliment other tourism efforts to show that Brownwood is a visitor friendly city while directing visitors, and those passing through town, to certain tourism attractions such as the Sports Complex, Museum, Downtown, Coliseum, etc. After several years of development, the project is ready for the implementation phase.

During this phase, National Sign Plaza will manufacture the signs, work with TxDOT and City of Brownwood on placement in the Right of Way and install the signs at the designated locations. There will be approximately 26 signs directing to over 20 tourism destinations included in this phase of the project.
