MotorCities National Heritage Area recently solicited proposals for a sign fabricator for the Wayside Exhibit Program.  Proposals were due by 1:00pm on Monday, April 28, 2008.  The proposals received are currently under review and the winning bidder will be notified shortly.

MotorCities is the recipient of a grant from the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation through the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries. The grant is for the creation of a Wayside Exhibit program in the MotorCities region.

Over the course of three years (2008-2010), the Wayside Exhibit program will create a comprehensive system of approximately 300 outdoor signs in communities throughout central and southeastern Michigan. Each sign will commemorate Michigan's automotive heritage and will increase public awareness of this on a community and regional level.

Flint and Ypsilanti are in their public reveiw period. Signs will be available for public reveiw before the final versions are sent to the fabricator.
