As the spring season rolls around, the town of French Camp is preparing to bring some fun and excitement to the area with as well as upcoming signage to install.
The French Camp Board of Aldermen approved the purchase of new signs during its March 2018 meeting that will be installed on the three roads that lead into French Camp. The signs were designed by a local French Camp artist and will be installed in the near future.
In other news, the newly formed French Camp Preservation Committee along with the local boy scouts, Troop #109, is continuing to help with downtown beautification with freshly painted buildings, planters and benches.
French Camp Mayor Glen Barlow has been elected and will be taking the office of President of the Mississippi Mayors’ Association in June of 2018.
