Funding for signs

Orleans has received $250,000 to design and install a wayfinding system. The town announced the award on October 20, 2026, through the state’s new Massachusetts Downtown Initiative Capital Grant Program. It is the program’s maximum implementation award.

Helping visitors get around

The planned signs and directional markers are intended to help people find parking, continue on foot and discover local businesses. The notice does not give an installation schedule.

The award came through the Commonwealth’s Community One Stop for Growth.
