Foundation Grant
For Road Signs
Polk County has a lot of roads,
but many are without posted
names.
This lack of identification is
frustrating for anyone giving
directions, and doubly
frustrating for anyone trying to
find an address.
With the coming advent of 911,
road ID will be crucial to enable
Emergency Medical Services to
reach the emergency in record
time.
The Polk County Community
Foundation has approved a grant
of approximately $5,700 toward
purchase and erection of road
signs in Polk County. The state of
North Carolina will pay 70% of
the total cost.
Jim Cochran, Polk County
Emergency Management
Director, has ordered the signs,
which are expected near the end
of the week. The poles have been
here since August.
Says Cochran: “The Green
Creek Volunteer Fire
Department has been busy
erecting the poles in Green Creek
Township. When the signs come,
they will be placed on the poles.
The hope is that other volunteer
organizations will erect the signs
in other townships.”
The signs are green, with white
reflective letters. Each sign will
have the name of the road, as
well as the road number, with
space left for block numbers.
This project began about your
years ago, with discussion of the
