What are workers doing with the sign Kodak at the former Kodak Park?


   I happened to be walking by Eastman Business Park this week when I noticed workers messing with the big Kodak sign. My heart of skipped a beat as my first thought was, they must be taking the sign down. I know it's just a sign. But it's also part of     our    collective story. I'd be disappointed to see it go. So I stopped and asked one of the guys if this was the case...

The Kodak sign isn't being removed. Since Kodak doesn't occupy this building anymore, the sign is being rewired; to a different power source.


   It turns out the Kodak sign isn't being removed. Phew! But since Kodak doesn't occupy this building anymore, the sign is being rewired to a different power source - so the new tenants won't have to foot the electric bill... that'd sort of be like stealing cable.

Just a sign of the times.
