EDC reviews signage proposals and technical guidance; cost estimates $2,400–$9,500
Summary
Commission reviewed signage proposals and discussed technical factors (post depth, visible height, sign size, material weight, pedestrian vs. vehicle design), and set an action to decide labels to appear beneath the Litchfield oval; proposals ranged from $2,400 to $9,500.
Commission members reviewed submitted signage proposals and walked through a set of technical considerations for signage in the historic district and town wayfinding. Discussion points included recommended 12-foot posts buried 3–4 feet to produce roughly 8 feet of visible sign height, height variation to clear snowbanks, a primary 36-inch oval sign, concerns about material weight and wind, and differing approaches for pedestrian versus vehicle-facing signage.
Members assigned action items to research historic signage photos (Missy Lafferty to ask the archivist), request vendor warranty and installation details for comparison (Tom Roman), and consider what label language should appear below the large Litchfield oval (for example, village names, 'historic village', or an arts district). The minutes record proposals priced between $2,400 and $9,500 but do not record a formal vote on sign procurement at this meeting.
