Yesterday, we’re told, ground officially broke on the project to build a fancy “Welcome to Eureka” sign at the south end of town, by the Herrick Avenue overpass.

Time marches slowly in government-land, as we all know. As indicated by the link above, the final design for the project was finalized almost a year ago, and they’ve been talking about putting something like this up for at least a decade.

But Swan Asbury, the city’s economic development manager, tells the Outpost that the project has now commenced and should proceed pretty quickly, weather permitting.
