12 Florence County Gateway Signs

Florence County added twelve gateway signs into the
County reading "Welcome to Florence County. Global
Reach with a Southern Appeal" to welcome visitors to
the heart of the Pee Dee. These entrance signs are
located at various entry points into Florence
County. However, Florence County should consider
more robust gateway signage along major gateways
such as what is reflected in the 76 Gateway study.
