This spring, crews are replacing all 14 of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's entrance signs with new ones.
The report doesn't say if they will be digital LED signs.
The report also says Enola Contracting of Chipley, Florida was contracted to install the signs. There aren't any companies in Tennessee or North Carolina qualified to install signs?

All hail, U.N. overlords!
It sure did. Proof that the enviro-pinky bureaucrats who really control our country secretly ceded authority to the U.N., or something like that.
Maybe one of our resident wingers could elaborate.
