A New Greeting For Mountain View Guests

Returning guests who approach Mountain View Grand from Route 3 will likely notice our new sign, actually north- andsouth-facing versions installed just a few days ago at the corner of Mountain View Road. This new sign is based on our distinctive green logo, which is seen onmost of our advertising and printed products. The sign was created by NorthWoods Manufacturing in nearby Lancaster, utilizing theirstate-of-the-art CNC (computer numerical control) router. The use of a CNC router allows NorthWoods to maintain very tight tolerances in machining signs and other items they produce.

To begin the process, Mountain View provided an electronic copy of their artwork to NorthWoods, who then brought the file into a special piece of software, which allowed them to manipulate the artwork and create the information necessary to control the CNC router. Once this process was complete, NorthWoods machined a full-size sample in an MDF computer file and provided it to Mountain View for approval. Then the actual signs were cut into pre-painted, one-inch sign foam, a lightweight, waterproof, high-density polyurethane board designed specifically for exterior applications. Once the signs were delivered to the hotel, our own in-house construction and maintenance department applied the gold leaf detailing, which helps to bring the sign to life. The maintenance crew was also responsible for building the frame around the sign and installing it at the roadside.
