New Sign Stands Out at Police Station

Jul 31, 2020 09:31AM ● By Susan Manning

Hopedale Police Chief Mark A. Giovanella saw a need and filled it.

The signs in front of the police station we’re not in good shape, so we found a way to fix that.

“The old signs started to rot out and they looked horrible. As the town budgets are tight and they would have been expensive to have professionally done, I talked a few friends into helping me out,” he said.

The blue signs came out shiny and new, but it wasn’t a quick project. 

“It took some time as we were only able to work on them in small increments and used hand tools to chisel out the letters,” said the chief.

Thanks to his — and his friends — patience and resourcefulness, the police station signs are in place and look great.

“It’s not a hobby; it was something I just needed to get done,” he said.
