(Atlantic, Iowa) – During a City Council meeting last month, City Administrator John Lund announced a new, “Welcome to Atlantic” sign was finished and was ready to be installed on the City’s east side. All they were waiting for was warmer weather. Mother Nature cooperated, and on Wednesday afternoon (April 24th), the sign was set in-place by staff from JJ Design.

During the Council’s meeting, Lund had shown photos of the sign and the pedestal that it would be placed on. He said at the time, the photos doesn’t show how “massive” the sign is.
