The Town of Northlake Board of Directors and Town Council on Jan. 15 approved a project to fund entry monument signage at town entry points, authorizing a total expenditure not to exceed $850,000, with up to $425,000 to be provided by the Community Development Corporation.
Economic Development Coordinator Lauren Homeyer presented the proposal as a business-promotion measure. President Laura Montini opened a public hearing at 6:19 p.m.; with no members of the public speaking the hearing closed one minute later and the council moved directly to a vote.
President Laura Montini moved to approve the project as presented; Secretary Hillary Simpson seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
The approved funding authorizes signage along highways and roadways at town limits to aid promotion of new or expanding businesses. The agenda packet described the total project budget as not to exceed $850,000 and stated that up to $425,000 of that total could be funded by the Community Development Corporation; the board did not modify those terms during the meeting.
The project was approved during the regular meeting following the informational briefings; the board then recessed into executive session to discuss unrelated economic development negotiations.
