Electric Sign
As I'm sure you've noticed, our new electric sign is up and running! Many thanks to all the people who pitched in to make this happen, particularly Gaye Wagner for laying the groundwork, and Jim Cromwell for laying the literal groundwork. Now please bear with me as I figure out how to work the thing and email me at townclerk@westportisland.gov with feedback.
