How many of you have missed seeing our iconic “Almost Heaven” sign when coming into town from Ohio?

The Chester Beautification Committee is pleased to announce that a brand-new sign is currently in production with Campbell Signs and will be installed within the next few weeks.

Bringing this project to life was a true team effort. We want to extend a huge thank you to the Chester Lions Club, the City of Chester, Delegate Pat McGeehan, Marjie Jo Mineard Jordan, the Blattner family, and Mike Dotson for working alongside us to secure the necessary funding and support.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated funds and their time to help preserve this piece of local history. Check out the design of the sign that is currently in production—we can’t wait for the official unveiling!

The Chester Beautification Committee would like to extend our gratitude to Summit Physical Therapy and their dedicated staff for generously donating to help install a new picnic table at the 3rd Street playground. We are incredibly excited that with their help, we were able to install the beautiful wood finished and metal framed picnic table under the pavilion structure. We could not do what we do without the help, generosity, and kindness of the residents and businesses in our great City of Chester!
