WRA Plans New Flags for Wallace

The Wallace Revitalization Association is planning to give the town a fresh new look. They are planning to replace the Discover Wallace flags that are starting to show wear, with new flags. The final colors and design have not been finalized, but among the designs being rendered for consideration are the Wallace Depot and the downtown clock. They may even decide on a mix of designs. The number and placement of the flags will also change- they are planning for 200 flags with flag locations to include US 117, the Tin City area, Hwy 41 near 40 and the River Landing area as well as the downtown area. The plan is to direct visitor’s attention to the downtown area from the areas that are most traveled. The cost of the project is $22,000- all of which will come from fundraising events. It is anticipated that raising that amount will take over a year and the anticipated completion time for the project is 2 years. Harriet Farrior is the Chairperson for the project, and the committee includes A.J. Cavenaugh, Susan Carone and Ken Wilson. For more information or to get involved, contact Harriet at 285-2299.
