Jamie Molina, left, and Carlos Tapia, with ARTfx Signs of Bloomfield, work on installing a sign in Hodges Square in New London Tuesday, October 25, 2022. The eight-foot-tall pylon is in the plant beds near the intersection of Williams and Bragaw streets and contains artwork, maps, and panels detailing the history of the area. The piece is funded through CT Next, a one-year Thames River Innovation Place grant, which the City of New London received to make improvements to the area. “We wanted this to be a way for people to learn about this area’s history and it’s beauty,” said Brian Kent, principal of Kent + Frost Landscape Architecture, which designed the pylon. Other projects in the area completed through the grant included planting trees and wildflowers in an open area at Williams Street and State Pier Road. (Sarah Gordon/The Day)
