Saco wayfinding signage guides residents and visitors

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 9, 2025

Brand-new wayfinding signs across downtown Saco will help guide residents and visitors to key destinations throughout the city. The project began in 2022, with the intention of highlighting Saco’s vibrant economic community in the business and industrial parks, the historic downtown area, and the waterfront, all while maintaining a unified, attractive design that complements the community. Throughout the summer, approximately 25 signs were placed in key locations around the city. Economic Development Director Tracey Desjardins said, “The pedestrian-friendly maps with custom illustrations are placed in high-traffic areas and will help people orient themselves as they explore the area on foot.”
