The sign, it is a changin’…
It's the sign at the entrance to the state Capitol grounds in Bismarck. The current sign has been removed – and the new one is going to be a lot larger.
"It's going to be about six times larger than the existing sign," said state facilities management director John Boyle. "It's going to be a little bit further back, because it will be in proportion to the green space of the Capitol mall."
The sign will also be lit.
"There will be lighting in each letter," Boyle said. "It will replicate what the new state museum sign is on the east side of the Heritage Center. That sign is very easy to read."
Boyle said the project will also improve the lighting on the “Prairie Family” statue that’s behind the current sign.
The sign costs $196,000.
