Edison plans mile-marker historical signs; committee will seek budget funding
Summary
At the ceremony, organizers said the historical preservation committee will propose placing mile-marker signs around Edison and that the project will be included in this year's municipal budget.
During closing remarks at the Memorial Day street dedication event, organizers said the township’s historical preservation committee, led by Council Vice President Robert Kentos, plans to place a series of historical "mile markers" in selected locations around town.
An organizer told attendees the preservation effort "will be included in this year's budget as well," signaling the committee will seek municipal funding for the project. No dollar amounts or specific locations were announced at the ceremony.
Council President Joe Coyle and other officials were introduced as supporting the initiative; the committee said it plans to start with a few targeted markers this year and expand over time. The proposal was described as part of the township’s broader effort to document and honor local history during America 250 events.
Next steps indicated at the ceremony included formal proposal drafting by the historical preservation committee and submission to the township budget process. No council vote or formal appropriation occurred at the event.
