IBEW Local 48 Steps Up

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has once again come to the rescue in Troutdale.

It seems that when the lighting for the Centennial Arch in downtown Troutdale was designed they forgot to light the name of the city.  This of course became immediate apparent when it was dark and you couldn't see the Troutdale name on the very top of the arch.  The arch spans East Historical Columbia River Highway just east of 257th.

Soon you will see the name of the city above "Gateway to the Gorge".

Noticing this deficiency I received a call from Clif Davis, business manager (yes his name has only one "f").  He generously offered to cover the cost of the labor and materials if the city would pay for the flagging in order to direct traffic.

We applaud the IBEW local 48 for helping to put the city name "up in lights".

Thanks IBEW Local 48!
