Wall Lake city officials have selected a location for their new community information sign after nearly a year without one. The previous sign was located near the intersection of Center and 3rd Street but has not functioned since February. Administrator, Chris Rodman, says a recent survey asked residents how they got their city-related information and the responses were unanimous.

The Wall Lake City Council approved a $30,000 bid from Roling Signs of Sioux Rapids earlier this year, but they still needed to determine where that sign would be installed. Rodman says they left the decision to the public.

Rodman says this sign will be a noticeable upgrade from the previous one.

With a contractor already lined up and a site chosen, Rodman expects the sign will be installed sometime in the next 14 to 21 days. He says it should be operational no later than the first week of the new year.
