(KMZA)--A new “ Welcome to Seneca” sign is to be installed on the west side of town as part of an Eagle Scout project.

Local Boy Scout Garrett Bennett came before the Seneca City Council Wednesday evening to seek approval for the project and funding for materials.

The sign is to be installed on private property at the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. 36 and Highway 178.

Bennett said the sign would be similar to the sign located at the Seneca City Park.

He said he’s considering the possibility of the sign be lighted at night.

The Council voted to approve the project and payment of $3,600 for materials.

Volunteers will assist Bennett with the project and donations will cover the remainder of the cost.
