The Fulda Lions Club is undertaking a project concerning street naming and house-numbering in the Village of Fulda. The numbers would be purchased by residences and businesses at a minimal cost. The sale of the numbers would be used to defray the cost of the numbers and corner street signs. The object of the numbering and street naming is for easier identifying and locating a home or business. Should mail delivery to each home and business someday be a reality, the numbering of homes and businesses and naming of streets will have already been complete. The project is set to take place in spring.
