Signs of economic promise?
19 May 2017
Way-finding signs were installed throughout Osceola the first week in May. The Osceola Area Chamber of Commerce hopes they’ll help tourists and locals find gems within the village.
“We hear over and over that people come to visit and don’t know exactly where things are,” said Germaine Ross, the chamber’s executive director. “And that applies to local people too.”
Though the idea for way-finding signs has been around for some time, the chamber put them high on its to-do list after working with community members to identify Osceola’s assets last year, part of a larger tourism growth project.
