Ramsay Signs is donating the “Made in Oregon” sign on top of the University of Oregon’s building in Old Town to the city, which will change the sign to “Portland Oregon.”

The maintenance of the sign, electricity and the costs of conversion to read “Portland Oregon” will be paid for with revenues from a city-owned parking lot under the Burnside Bridge, Portland City Commissioner Randy Leonard wrote in his blog.

The copy change proposal will have to be reviewed by the Historic Landmarks Commission if the conversion is to begin later this summer, he added.
