West Reading Welcome Wall Mural
Mike Miller and Nancey Seghetti, resident artists and Design Team members
will be working on the implementation of the mural this summer.
The project budget is $10,000. Sam Loth has secured the pledges
of Ed Kuhn (Kuhn’s Funeral Home) and Jim Edwards
(Edwards Business Systems) and will be actively seeking further
pledges through this summer and fall. Contributors to the
project will be recognized at the unveiling ceremony upon
completion of the mural with names inscribed on a brass plaque
which will be mounted at the mural site. The location of the
mural is the east face of the West Reading Diner. The mural
will greet motorists and pedestrians at Fourth and Penn Avenues
as they travel into the Borough from the 422 By-pass and the
City of Reading.
