Selma tourism board approves $450 mural contribution, awaits wayfinding sign details
Summary
The Town of Selma Special Tourism Advisory Board approved a $450 contribution toward an interior mural at the new town hall and discussed wayfinding signage timing with NCDOT; staff said a Friday meeting with NCDOT should clarify installation timing.
Speaker 1 called the Town of Selma Special Tourism Advisory Board to order June 6 and led discussion that resulted in a $450 tourism fund contribution for a mural in the new Town Hall building.
Staff (Speaker 3) told the board Nikki Wall could not attend but that Nikki had a scheduled call with NCDOT on Friday to discuss installation of wayfinding signs and would provide more information after that meeting. Staff circulated examples of proposed murals and said two interior walls in the new town hall are being considered. Staff also clarified the $450 figure in the packet referred to the cost for a single wall; a second wall would require a similar additional expenditure if pursued later.
Board members discussed mural style and content. Speaker 1 suggested a collage of images focused on Selma rather than broader regional imagery; staff said Nikki favored a gradient fade and not a hard dividing line on the mural. Committee members asked staff to note graphic preferences in the meeting minutes for future reference.
Speaker 1 moved to approve the $450 contribution from tourism funds for the mural; the motion received a second and was accepted on the record (the transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally). Staff said they would circulate updated design examples and follow up after Nikki's NCDOT call.
The board also discussed the broader wayfinding sign project; staff said they expect more information by Friday following the NCDOT conversation and that the current packet referenced only a single sign phase. No other formal funding decisions on additional signs were taken at the meeting.
