Historic District Signage Has Arrived
The long awaited historic signage planned for Central City has arrived.
Signs noting the Historic District in Central City’s downtown have been placed
at two locations on Main Street. Signs will also be placed in two sites on
Fourth Street in the near future.
Two large signs have been placed on Highway 13. These signs will direct
travelers to the four exits into Central City. The signs were a cooperative
effort by the City of Central City, the Business Improvement Committee, and the
