Hamilton’s mayor says it’s about time we brought “some life and colour” into an animated city hall forecourt.
Fred Eisenberger notes that installation of the letters is complete ahead of Friday’s official lighting of the new digital H-A-M-I-L-T-O-N sign.
The project was privately funded and Eisenberger stresses it will cost $1.50 per day to run the power on the LED lighting.
The mayor adds that the colours of the letters can be changed to highlight just about any event, “whether it’s a tragedy or a celebration.”
He predicts people “will love this sign”, whether residents or tourists, adding that he can imagine all the graduates from McMaster who are going to be “standing all over this sign taking their pictures.”
