This item concerns new guidelines for signage in historic areas. The Historic Preservation Commission is reviewing rules for how new signs should be designed and placed. The goal is to ensure signs are not overly noticeable and use materials like wood, metal, or stone. Signs should also be located where they do not harm or hide important architectural elements. This review is in its early stages, meaning plans are still being developed. The work would involve creating and installing signage that meets these new standards. This could include design services, fabrication of signs using traditional materials, and installation. Local businesses involved in design, sign making, and construction trades could find opportunities as these guidelines are finalized and projects begin.
