Once a marker subject is approved, the organization or individual who submitted the application is responsible for obtaining the funds to pay for the fabrication of the marker. The cost for fabrication is:
$2,075.00 if the text is the same on both sides of the marker.
$2,300.00 if the text is different.
The funds for fabricating the marker must be received by the Kentucky Historical Highway Marker Program office before the order can be placed. Some suggestions for raising funds in your community include:
A. Ask a business, corporation, or civic organization in your community to contribute funds. (We can include the name of one sponsoring organization on each side of the marker.)
B. Ask members of your community to contribute.
C. If the marker is about a specific person, ask descendants of that person to contribute.
D. Hold a special fund-raising event.
