Residents of Silvermine recently unveiled a new ‘Welcome’ sign to their historic and unique neighborhood. The painted blue ‘Welcome to Silvermine Historic Area’ sign near the intersection of Silvermine Avenue and River Road features a swan and has been in place since July 10, officials say. The sign’s creation and installment was a year in the making, according to Silvermine Community Association president Megan Ferrell, who spearheaded the project and helped with design. “It took a lot of time to get the proper permits for it,” Ferrell said, as the sign sits on a circle that although maintained by the Silvermine Community Association is under the jurisdiction of the city of Norwalk. The fundraising for the sign was driven by the neighborhood’s desire for something that represented the community, she said.
