Board authorizes initial banner purchase; redevelopment group coordinating larger banner plan

Apr 10, 2026

After discussion of banner costs and local branding, the board approved a motion to authorize initial banner research and purchase (to support cleanup and park events). The redevelopment commission is separately working on coordinated pole banners and billboards for Southport Road and Madison Avenue.

The full story

The board discussed options for a cross-street banner and smaller pole banners to advertise park events and the city brand. A member reported a historical quote of about $900 for an across-street banner but recommended ordering online for lower cost; small pole banners were estimated at roughly $60'$70 each with a simple design fee.
