Board approves production of interpretive signs for historic asylum site
Summary
Jackson County’s Historic Preservation Commission received approval to produce three 24x36‑inch interpretive signs for the historic asylum site; the commission will coordinate final placement with county maintenance and add QR codes.
Parsons of the Jackson County Historic Preservation Commission asked the Board of Supervisors on March 10 for permission to produce and later place three interpretive signs at the historic asylum site.
"We have 3 new interpretive signs that we have developed for the historic insane asylum, and we would like your permission to have those produced and installed at the site," Parsons told the board, saying the commission used images and National Register text and planned to reuse existing metal sign structures. Parsons said the signs are 24 by 36 inches and will be produced as vinyl overlays to attach to the metal posts.
Board members asked to review prototypes and discussed coordinating placement with maintenance director Jeff Kilberg; Parsons said the commission would prepare a site plan and work with Kilberg before installation. The commission also agreed to add a QR code linking to further information; Parsons said they could obtain a QR code from the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area.
The board approved production of the signs and deferred final approval of exact placement until the commission provides a site plan and coordinates with county maintenance.
