Waterfront board backs Main Street interpretive‑signage program, names liaison
Summary
Fernandina Beach Main Street presented a four‑phase interpretive signage program to tell the waterfront’s history; the board voted to support the initiative and appointed David Cook as the board’s representative to the design team.
Lulu Hutman, executive director of Fernandina Beach Main Street, presented an interpretive‑signage initiative intended to tell the waterfront’s history through photographs, artwork, maps and interactive elements such as QR codes. Hutman described four phases: research and design, fabrication, installation and public launch, and said the Amelia Island Museum of History and a local design committee are already engaged.
Hutman said the program will be funded through grants, fundraising and sponsorships and requested board participation in the design committee. After questions about historic‑district review and design guidelines, a board member moved that the Waterfront Advisory Board support the signage initiative and name David Cook as the board’s representative; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Hutman said she will continue grant applications (she noted she missed a state grant deadline in early July but will pursue other funding) and will provide updates to the board; the board also volunteered members to join the design committee and help with historical research.
