Welcome to Gloucester City Signs
Gloucester City erected the first of many new entryway enhancement signs being placed throughout the City to enhance the aestetics of the gateways into out community. This sign, located at the Rt. 42 and Market Street off ramp, was funded by the Gloucester City Urban Enterprise Zone and is being maintained by Gloucester City Rotary. Upon the UEZ sponsoring a town meeting entitled “Enhancing Gloucester City’s Image,” the moderator, Ms. Stacy Irving from the Center City District in Philadelphia, suggested one of the things the City could do to enhance their image was to erect new signage to create a sense of place to let people know they’re in Gloucester City. The remaining signs have been purchased by local Gloucester City businesses and will be maintained by various community organizations throughout the City.
