New Beaufort signs direct visitors to parking, shopping

The city of Beaufort is installing signs downtown to direct people to restaurants, shopping and parking. The work began Tuesday and will go through the end of the week, according to a news release.

The "wayfinding" effort is a partnership of the city and Main Street Beaufort, an organization representing downtown merchants. The pair split the $30,000 cost.

The project includes signs from the Beaufort city limits to the downtown shopping district, directory signs in the historic downtown, a business directory at the West Street Plaza and Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park signs with rules and regulations.
