Electro-Matic Visual and Legacy Sign Group Upgrade Gary, IN City Hall
The City Hall of Gary, Indiana, recently took a major step in modernizing its communication with residents by upgrading its outdated monochrome sign to a new, high-resolution LED display. This project, completed in partnership with Legacy Sign Group, significantly improves the city’s ability to share important updates, events, and announcements with the community.
The Need for an Upgrade
The old monochrome sign at City Hall had become non-functional, leaving the city without an effective way to communicate real-time information to residents. Whether it was sharing city announcements, event reminders, or emergency alerts, the outdated sign no longer met the city’s needs.
Before
In addition to needing a full-color, high-resolution display, the IT department had concerns about how the new digital sign would integrate with the building’s network. Security was a priority, and any solution would need to operate independently from the city’s internal network to avoid potential cybersecurity risks.
After
The Solution: A High-Quality LED Display
Legacy Sign Group, a trusted signage provider in Indiana, Southwest Michigan, and Northeast Illinois, partnered with Electro-Matic Visual to deliver a state-of-the-art digital sign that met all of Gary City Hall’s requirements.
Key Features of the New Signage:
- 10mm pixel pitch – Ensures crisp, high-resolution images and text for clear communication.
- 34″ x 82″ LED display – Large enough to catch attention while fitting within the designated space.
- Cloud-based software – Allows for remote content management, making updates quick and easy.
- Cellular communication – Bypasses the city’s internal network, addressing IT security concerns.
A Successful Transformation
With the installation of the new LED sign, City Hall can now efficiently share critical information with residents in a visually engaging and highly effective way. The upgrade ensures that local announcements, public notices, and community messages are displayed with clarity and impact.
Luke Seifert of Legacy Sign Group expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating:
“This signage upgrade looks great with the new highly effective message center. Thank you so much for entrusting Legacy Sign Group with this project! We are looking forward to working with your team on other projects in the future!”
This project highlights how modern LED technology can help cities enhance communication and engage their communities effectively. With its new LED signage, Gary City Hall is now better equipped to keep its residents informed and connected.
