ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – It's going on two years since the sign that welcomes drivers into the City of Elmira was defaced, and there has been little work done to repair it. However, local officials say they are looking at options to not just repair the time-worn sign, but replace it altogether. After the Jan. 26, City Council meeting, Elmira City Manager Mike Collins told 18 News that the city has money (part of $10 million from the American Rescue Plan) to create a new sign. According to Collins, the Buildings and Grounds and Sanitation Departments are 'working with a local individual' to come up with a new design for the sign.
