The goal is to create a consistent gateway as travelers enter Fairfield County and provide a "brand" and reinforce the identity of the County as a destination. The locations for the gateway signs are on an interstate and will need to comply with Federal Highway Administration and SCDOT encroachment regulations.

Project Scope: It is anticipated the gateway design will emphasize natural stone or brick. Proposed designs should be proportionate to the site and not obstruct traffic sight-lines.

The intent of the signs is to acknowledge travelers and let them know they have arrived and/or exited the County. The goal of the wayfinding design is to develop signage that matches the gateway signs along the interstate and create a unified directional, contextual and identification signs across a range of signage mediums.
