Commission reviews $26,000 signage plan; seeks local bids and DOT approvals
Summary
The commission discussed a $26,000 allocation for Litchfield signs (Seherr‑Thoss update), design themes and the need for DOT permitting and three local bids; staff will contact the Historical Society for design attribution.
The Economic Development Commission discussed a proposed signage project during its May 20 meeting, with a Seherr‑Thoss update that $26,000 is available for Litchfield signs.
Commissioners described the proposed aesthetic as colonial, wrought‑iron signage intended to link boroughs and highlight nature, shops, dining and arts. The group emphasized the need for DOT permitting and historical design review: commissioners asked staff to contact Jessica at the Historical Society to identify who designed the original sign used as a model. Members directed staff to solicit three bids, preferably from local vendors, to determine actual project cost and the number of signs that can be produced.
Next steps: staff will reach out to the Historical Society, solicit three bids, and return cost and siting recommendations to the commission.
