Kiawah Island Entrance Sign Replacement |
|
Starting today (November 10), the Town begins work to replace our two Kiawah Island entrance signs at the main gate and roundabout. The new sign is expected to be installed by the end of the week. There may be a period of time between removal and installation where no signage is present. Traffic impacts are not expected; however, residents should use caution as contractors will present on the Parkway. Questions can be directed to Brian Gottshalk at bgottshalk@kiawahisland.org.
