Driving along Marietta Road in South Canton, motorist may have noticed some new and bright welcome signs have been installed, according to a press release.

As development is shifting from downtown to the river, it is important that the entry point to the City of Canton along Exit 16 is attractive, clean, safe, and also moving forward.

The City is working hand-in-hand with the Council and the neighborhood to help drive economic investment into the Marietta Road area, known to many in the area as Sunnyside. This will include opportunities for commercial and residential investment, activation of public park space, improvement for transportation and infrastructure, and community pride.
