NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University invites the public to attend a ribbon-cutting for the new digital billboard that was constructed at the corner of University Parkway and the Hwy. 1 Bypass. The ribbon-cutting will be at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 14 at the site.
The NSU-Lamar Advertising digital structure is a long-term public/private partnership, in which 100 percent of the construction cost was funded by Lamar in exchange for partial advertising rights. The sign was constructed last year to replace a traditional wooden billboard that stood at the site for decades. The new sign features 10 rotating slides, five of which are NSU-focused, and was designed to mimic the architecture of the campus.
Parking will be available behind the Teacher Education Center on Tarleton Drive and golf carts will be available to shuttle guests to and from the ribbon-cutting ceremony. RSVP to Haley Graves at gravesh@nsula.edu or (318) 357-4487.
In case of rain, the ribbon-cutting will be postponed.
