City Council Reviews New Street Signage Tonight

Veblen, SD · June 11, 2026

Keep the umbrella by the door today—that 41% chance of drizzle is likely to hang around through the afternoon.

📰 The Lead

The Veblen City Council meets tonight at City Hall to finalize the design and placement of new street signage throughout town. This project aims to replace aging, faded markers and add new directional signs for key locations like the City Park and the school. Residents have noted that some current signs are difficult to read at night, and the new high-visibility reflective models should improve safety for both locals and visitors. Beyond the street names, the council is looking at adding "Welcome to Veblen" markers at the main entry points to the city. The council expects to select a vendor tonight so crews can finish the work before the Veblen Days crowds arrive in July.
