Every day is a great day to beautify Southaven!
As we continue with our priority of city beautification, we have started a plan that has been in the works for a few years. In our history, we’ve had many neighborhoods that were originally developed without a homeowners association at all and some that had great intentions but have faltered as the years have gone by. The city requires all new developments to have HOAs now, but we have some neighborhoods whose HOAs installed decorative street signs when their development first occurred but have since not maintained the signs. When citizens requested that the city replace their deteriorating decorative signs, we began thinking of a way to consistently beautify every neighborhood in our city with a standard sign design. Cost is an relevant factor, so we chose a sign that is both cost-effective and also mirrors the beautiful intersection and wayfinding signs in existence now throughout our city.
This project is now underway to replace the standard green signs in the Colonial Hills residential subdivision. The city will budget for a few neighborhoods each year until all have been replaced throughout the city. Damaged signs everywhere will be replaced with the new signs. Belle Pointe is next on the list for 2026.
Let’s be proud of our beautiful city and every chance we get, let’s get prettier!
