New sign on Main St. comes to life after months of planning

An electronic sign at the intersection of Main and Elm Sts. was turned on Thursday after months of planning and fundraising.
City electricians completed wiring from the sign base to the sign itself Aug. 28, but when the switch was thrown, the sign did not light. Workers came back Thursday to recheck all its connections and reconnect wiring.
Shortly before noon Thursday, the switch was thrown again and the sign came to life.
