Welcome Signs and Billboards
MARJDI has distributed “Welcome” signs to local businesses, offices and organizations. These signs are intended to signal openness and acceptance of the rich diversity of people who visit, work, and live in the Manistee area.
We plan to place this message at the entrances to the Manistee Riverwalk and area beaches and parks in the coming months.
In addition, in 2021 we placed two billboards along our major highway welcoming people to our community during the summer season. We hope to continue to place billboards as resources allow.
If you would like to post a welcome sign please contact us!

The Billboard Posted on Major Highways With generous support from the Manistee County Community Foundation, Manistee County United Way, and many individuals like you, we were able to display three billboards (north, south and east of town) in 2023 for a total of 20 weeks, from early May through mid-September. We have received so many positive comments from visitors and residents that we have decided to put the billboards back up in 2024.
We have received a quote from Lamar Advertising for $8000.00 to have two billboards (east and south of town) put up for 28 weeks in 2024, Memorial Day weekend through Sleighbell weekend. We once again need your help to make this project again a reality. If you can help, please make your donation to the Manistee County Community Foundation/MARJDI fund.
