Where Did the New Sign Come From in the Town Center?

You may have noticed it on when heading west on Baboosic Lake Road.

A big blue sign that shows motorists where some key buildings are located in the center of town, including the Town Hall, Police Department, district court and Merrimack High School.

One Patch reader, who asked where the sign came from, said she really likes the addition to the center of town.

In our latest installment of You Ask, Patch Answers, I set out to find the answer.

A quick call to Town Manager Eileen Cabanel pointed me in the direction of Public Works Director Rick Seymour who said it was, in fact, his department that put up the sign.

"It's the center of town, it was a much needed addition to help identify where various places like the town hall, police station and court are," Seymour said.

He said the old signs were fading and this bright blue and white sign catches the eye. He added that there aren't currently other plans to add similar signs around town, but he wouldn't rule it out.

Seymour said the sign was installed in the last couple weeks.
