Work to Begin on the Dixon Memorial Arch

SHARE NOW

“The arch will be cleaned, repaired, painted and new LED letters will be installed,” said Dixon Streets and Properties Manager Tyler Venier.  “The majority of the work will be done at night with the exception of the painting.  We will notify the motoring public of the daytime closures once painting is set to begin, so more information will follow as work progresses,” continued Venier.

The City of Dixon received a generous donation of $63,000 from the Wolber family, owners of Arthur’s Garden Deli, to complete the work.  “We’re grateful for the Wolber family and their commitment to Dixon,”  added Venier.  “Their donation will be a great help in bringing this project to a successful conclusion”.

Work is scheduled to be complete by June 25th.
