Peachtree Corners spreading hope at city’s gateway

Peachtree Corners business owner, Bill Frey of Illuminating Design, recently donated and installed an uplifting sign spelling out the word “HOPE” adjacent to the city’s gateway sign at the Ga. 141/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard split. The animated light sign is not only a reminder of hope to residents and visitors entering the city but a nod of appreciation to medical workers, first responders and all those on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among many positive comments on the city’s Facebook page, Patricia Rainey said, “Thank you! I now see this everyday driving home from work at Emory Midtown.”

In addition to donating the sign, Illuminating Design Inc. is holding a Front Line Heroes Contest. The company will be gifting holiday lighting products to those working on the front lines during the pandemic. Nominate a front line hero at www.illuminating-design.com.
