Economic Development Urban Design & Placemaking 2019Perk Up c/o Upper Perkiomen Valley Chamber of Commerce
The Upper Perkiomen Gateway and Wayfinding Sign Program is designed to market the region for outdoor recreation and nature tourism. It also unites and brands seven municipalities within two counties as a single unique place: the Upper Perkiomen Valley.
The program implements a recommendation of the joint comprehensive plan of the seven municipalities. The program engaged a consultant, an internationally-renowned design firm, reps from the municipalities, and students from the Western Montgomery Career and Technology Center to design and create prototypes of signs.
Signs have been in place for a year successfully guiding residents and visitors to destinations and amenities.
