PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Wednesday, the City of Portage announced that a new street mural thanking Pfizer Inc. for the role it played this year in vaccine development and distribution has been installed on Portage Road in front of the Pfizer Global Supply campus.
According to the announcement, Trans American Striping, a city vendor, donated the work to paint the mural.
“We want to thank the City of Portage for suggesting this mural and helping with the last minute details to make it happen,” owner of Trans American Striping David Vaughn said in a statement. “We were honored to be a part of the community effort.”
In addition to the street mural, the City of Portage installed “Thank You” banners at various locations around the city, and a group of Portage residents produced yard signs for distribution throughout the Portage community with a message thanking Pfizer for its efforts.
“I thank all of the Pfizer employees for the dedication they have put in to creating a vaccine in record time and those who supported these efforts,” City Manager Joe La Margo said in a written statement. “Portage is enormously proud of what our friends and neighbors have accomplished. History has been made right here in Portage!”
Residents wanting to display a yard sign can pick one up at Portage City Hall (lower level delivery door) while supplies last. The signs should be installed on private property and not in the city right-of-way.
