Redevelopment panel advances draft for adopt-a-banner program and vendor outreach
Summary
Commission reviewed a draft flyer and vendor options for an adopt-a-banner program on Madison Avenue and parts of Southport Road, recommended local vendors and hardware checks, and emphasized alternating banners with American flags to preserve current displays.
A presenter circulated a rough draft flyer describing an adopt-a-banner program for the business district and said she had contacted local vendors in New Palestine and Shelbyville to assess sizes, hardware and costs. "This is just a rough draft copy. It needs tweaked out, but I put together a flyer so that we can go around and see about the adopt a banner program for Down Madison," the presenter said.
Members discussed banner size options, hardware brackets, alternating banners with existing American flags so the Flag Project is not displaced, and the need for the vendor to inspect poles to confirm clearance and fit. The presenter said the vendor estimated banners take about a week to produce and that local vendors typically see three to five years of life before noticeable fading; commissioners asked the presenter to gather firm quotes and proofs for the commission to review.
