I don't know ehere you live but in here when a project is being built it's fairly normal to have a big sign with details like,
* what is being done
* starting date and expected end date
* maybe a map to show are being worked on
* company doing the work
* How much it costs
* A series of logos with every entity that funded the work, with a decreasinz size depending how much they funded)
I'd not really call that propaganda.
