Brief History of These Signs | Enchanted Hills Neighborhood Association Signs
EHHA and the City of Rio Rancho recently realized the completion within Enchanted Hills of four signs to promote the Association and encourage residents to patronize local business sponsors.
Drawing on discretionary funding from District Six City Councilor Kathy Colley and former Councilor Marilyn Salzman, the signs are at major street entrances to the Enchanted Hills neighborhood: Enchanted Hills Blvd/Chayote Rd; 550/Santa Fe Hills; 550/Sprint Blvd; Enchanted Hills Blvd/Lincoln. (Refer to the map to the left.) These signs will promote EH Neighborhood Association meetings and events (such as the recent Fall B-B-Q) and inform EH residents of other neighborhood-community events. Sponsors may also list their names on one or more of these signs.
For information and to discuss placing an ad, please contact us at SponsorServices@ehha.us
