Tinmouth committee discusses grant-funded welcome signs and artist selection
Summary
The committee reviewed a sign vendor and estimated cost (about $400 each), agreed to pursue two signs using grant funds with a one-year timeline, and discussed inviting multiple artists to submit designs rather than selecting by lottery.
The Tinmouth Equity & Inclusion Committee discussed plans for new town welcome signs and an artists’ selection process supported by a grant. The chair reported a local vendor’s quote and suggested two signs with a simple design to control costs.
"They’re about $400 each, I think it was," the chair said when reporting the vendor estimate. Committee members agreed to invite artists to submit design ideas, share language for outreach, and consider either fall or next-spring fabrication given the grant’s one-year timeline.
Members emphasized keeping designs manageable (avoiding complex town-shape cutouts that drive up cost), engaging local artists for proposals, and coordinating outreach so the sign design team can meet outside of formal committee warning when fewer than a quorum participate.
