New Signs to Bring Business to Shepherd

November 05, 2019  /  Guest User

The quaint Village of Shepherd has a variety of unique businesses nestled within their community. While some businesses are small in size, they still have a lot to offer. To bring some much deserved attention to the community and the businesses housed there, the Shepherd Chamber of Commerce recommended that more signage be installed in the Village.

A grant from the Shepherd Community Fund Honoring Robert H. Bates made two new signs possible. Each one highlights the various businesses that call Shepherd home. Fourteen businesses are displayed on the first sign. DTE Energy funded the installation of the sign off the northbound 127 exit. The high visibility of the sign from the highway will attract visitors to swing through the Village of Shepherd, and see what they have to offer.

Dean and Jamie Mitchell of Mitchell’s Deli are particularly excited about the new sign.  They hope to see increased traffic and sales from the new signs, expecting highway visitors to travel up the road to see what Shepherd has in store. The attention from the newly installed signs will bring more hustle and bustle into the Village.
