Republic dedicates new welcome sign

Surrounded by members of the community, Republic Mayor Matt Russell cuts the ribbon at the ceremony dedicating the new Main Gateway Sign on Friday, Oct. 8. Standing 27-feet high and 34-feet wide, the sign will greet motorists as they drive into Republic from the westbound lane of U.S. Highway 60.
In his dedication speech, Mayor Russell said the sign is a reminder that the City of Republic “does the right thing, for the right reason, at the right time.” (Photo by Steve Chapman)
