Stafford County, Va. -- As Stafford builds its brand a historical destination, some changes are coming to a $700,000 plan to erect special signs depicting the county as George Washington’s boyhood home.
Tourism officials and the Virginia Department of Transportation entered into an agreement that would allow the county to place several blue signs, large signs on major roads and small ones on by ways, featuring the county’s logo and a depiction of a young George Washington.
Of the large, or monument, signs that will be placed at major gateways into the county such as Interstate 95 and at the Fredericksburg line, they will now stand on two large posts and not stone bases as was originally planned. The changes were requested by VDOT in fears the stone bases could be hazardous to motorists in the event of a crash.
