Electronic Sign in the Works for Norwich Community Centre

Wednesday, 5 June 2013 11:10

An electronic sign is in the works for the Norwich Community Centre. Director of Community Development Pat Hovorka told Heart FM they are planning to gut out and refurbish the original steel structure that is there now. Hovorka says the electronic sign would allow the Township to cycle through more than one message on the sign at one time. "We have a board there now or sign that we use for blood donor clinics and that sort of stuff, but I want something that's going to be wireless and digital, something that's more esthetically pleasing, a little more professional. It's going to be a really good medium to get messages out to the community." "If something were to ever happen, god forbid we have another disaster, ie a tornado it's hard to get messages out to people, so it would be a medium for us, because we're on a diesel generator so if we lose power we're still operational. It's like an emergency centre too but we will be able to send messages out to the community if need be." Hovorka estimates the project will cost around $15,000 and he hopes to have the sign installed by the end of the summer.
