New Sign for ARTS Offices in Fayetteville


Recently, our new logo was installed on the front of our offices in Fayetteville. With the kind assistance of Mark Kluckman, a general contractor from Houston, the 10-foot wide metal sign was carefully installed on the upper facia of our building. Mark brought some of the people who work with him at ECI, his company that recently has built several projects in Fayette County. The group donated their time and expertise to help raise our profile. Thanks guys!
