Entrance sign & landscaping project complete in King City

A ribbon cutting ceremony took place for a new entrance sign and landscaping project in King City on Friday, March 23. Mayor Mike LaBarre is very happy with how everything turned out and feels the new entrance sign and landscaping project will reinforce everything King City is doing at the City level and is impressed with all of the pride he's come across from people in the community. Overall though, Mayor LaBarre feels that this new entrance sign and landscaping project illustrates and represents King City very nicely. City Manager Steven Adams said that they've been working on this project over a year. Other than the City of King, other agencies that helped finish this project included PG&E which chipped in $25,000 for mitigation funding for work they did on their infrastructure that impacted the old sign, while Cal Water paid for all of the landscaping work which serves as a drought tolerant landscape garden and a neighboring motel purchased some property for excess parking. Frank's Gardening Service also assisted with this project. The total cost of the project was around $100,000 and the City of King ended up paying $25,000.
