While Arkansas City officials work to revitalize downtown, beautification committee members think city entrances could be more inviting, too. Public Information Officer Andrew Lawson said the welcome signs at each major entrance to the city are in poor condition. Wooden arches with local club logos and other community information have had to be taken down due to disrepair. Lawson estimated that those signs were put into place during the late 1990s. During a recent meeting, Beautification and Tree Advisory Board member Candace Hendricks said that she would like to see that signage replaced. The board is looking into costs and hiring an architect help with the design.
