Summary

The public affairs committee presented design and cost estimates for 4–5 programmable signs to guide park visitors and advertise downtown events; preliminary price estimates range roughly $8,000–$12,740 for sets of four signs, not including installation and masonry work.

The public affairs committee described a signage project to place programmable signs at key approaches to the village and at the park entrance to direct visitors into downtown and advertise events and attractions. The presenter said a four-sign set of a mid-sized model would cost in the range of about $8,000–$9,000, while a larger model was quoted at $12,740 for four signs; installation, masonry bases, and electrical work were not included in the sign price.

"The big thing that we've been working on behind the scenes... is working on the sign project," the committee member said, noting the group could seek donations, sell advertising space, or have the garage do some installation work but that brick bases would require a mason. Board members discussed permitting along state highways, possible fee-for-service advertising revenue, and a multi-month timeline with potential mid‑summer installation.
