The static sign that has been in front of the Carson City Community Center for 50 years came down this morning at about 9:30 a.m. It will be replaced by a state-of-the-art LED sign able to accommodate more messages that can be easily read. The new sign should be in place by Nevada Day. Custom Crane & Sign is the contractor.
