Board approves $450 budget for Bloom 2026 decorations and signs
Summary
Winnsboro Main Street approved a $450 budget ceiling for Bloom 2026 and discussed a design committee proposal for reusable, weatherproof corner signs and smaller campaign signs for participating businesses, with code checks required for placement on rights-of-way.
The Winnsboro Main Street board approved a $450 ceiling for Bloom 2026 expenditures and discussed a signage plan aimed at boosting downtown visibility.
A design-committee member (speaker 4) proposed six seed-packet-style weatherproof signs (48"x32") to attach to cyclone fencing at a major corner and smaller campaign-sized signs to distribute to participating businesses. The presenter estimated full-color, reusable signs would cost about $320 for the set of six and that smaller business signs could be produced at roughly $8 each in bulk.
Board members discussed alternatives to reduce costs, suggested coordinating with downtown businesses to display signs in windows rather than in grass, and noted the need to check municipal code and rights-of-way rules before placing signage at Memorial Park or at corners along 37 and 515. The board asked the design committee to work with the Bloom committee and the Winnsboro Center for the Arts to coordinate decorations and business participation.
Committee member (speaker 3) proposed a $400–$450 budget target during discussion; the formal motion to approve a $450 ceiling was moved by committee member (speaker 4) and passed by voice vote. The transcript records the motion and passage but does not specify an exact spending breakdown or the code-permit outcome; committee work was assigned to finalize costs, locations and any necessary permits.
