The City of Fort Thomas installed its first new iron signs on Memorial Parkway and River Road this week.
In June of 2016, Fort Thomas Matters reported that the city’s Renaissance Board had asked council to approve a purchase of new city signage that would not only welcome people and residents to the city, but also inform them of what’s happening in Fort Thomas.

Constructed out of black iron with a military script font, each permanent sign will have a place to hang thinner, stop-sign like material, easily changeable, advertising different events.

The city was hoping to have the signs in place by the end of the last summer, but the signs had to be modified because the Kentucky Transportation Departments required a bigger setback from the road.
