Mars Area may remove electronic sign by high school
ADAMS TWP — The electronic sign in front of Mars Area High School’s days may be numbered.
At a school board meeting Tuesday night, board members and staff discussed a potential plan to relocate or replace the 10-year-old district sign ahead of future road construction projects.
Mark Gross, Mars Area superintendent, said the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is offering the district $90,000 to relocate the sign, as it sits too close to the upcoming Route 228 expansion work.
“It’s near its end life, and with the (Route) 228 renovation project, we have to relocate that sign,” Gross said. “My recommendation would be to go ahead and purchase a new sign.”
