This sign is truly a win-win situation, where in addition to giving local businesses the opportunity to advertise in a state-of-the-art format, it will also boost the local economy and provide the City of Oroville with a steady stream of revenue.”

Construction on the new digital sign could begin as early as May, and will take between 3-4 months to complete.

G. Harold Duffey, City Administrator stated, “I am pleased that the City’s plan to have an impressive gateway sign has come to fruition. I am also honored that Binderup and Associates has partnered wit the City and the Business community to invest over $400,000 on this exciting project.
