Commenter 1, a resident, said the project "is a big deal" for Gadsden City and credited local volunteers and partners for bringing a hand-sculpted brick sign project to fruition.

Commenter 2, a resident who described the brickmaking process, explained how each sign is produced. "These signs are it's actually hand sculpted into the brick," the resident said, adding that the maker builds the wall, numbers and catalogs each brick, has the artwork carved into the bricks at the manufacturing plant, then the pieces are fired, crated, shipped and reassembled on site: "then it's a matter of putting a big giant puzzle together." The resident also said the airport sign that inspired the current work was completed more than 20 years ago.

The speakers credited several local people and groups with the project. Commenter 1 said David Hooks and Brett Johnson had the idea to coordinate with the airport authority and reach out to the craftsman referred to as Jimmy. Commenter 2 thanked Mike Erwin, Mark Tibble and his crew, and Pine Hall Bricks in Fairmont, Georgia, for their roles in manufacturing or assisting with the signs.

Discussion focused on the signs’ craftsmanship and symbolic value rather than on funding or approvals. Commenter 1 framed the effort as part of cleanup and improvement efforts in Gadsden City, saying, "The little things make a difference of what we're seeing in Gadsden and the cleaning up and the industrial sites." There was no formal action, vote, or funding amount reported in the remarks provided.

Speakers identified several places where similar work has been done: the airport sign, St. James Catholic Church, Rainbow Presbyterian Church and the Smeltzer Center. Commenter 2 said some of the earlier work dated back more than two decades and that the current pieces were made to match the airport sign.

No timetable, contract details, city approvals or budget figures were given in the recorded remarks. The speakers presented the project as a completed or nearing-completion community effort and thanked individuals and the manufacturer involved.
