The two state historical markers in De Pere — at Voyageur Park and Front Street — are faded and chipping, and the Marquette sign's language is outdated. The commission supports using next year's sign budget (up to $6,400 with carryover) to refurbish them through the Wisconsin Historical Society's formal process.
