Resident urges council to preserve Lorenzo Manufacturing Company sign slated for demolition
Summary
At the Aug. 11 Lorenzo City Council meeting, resident Karin Furnish asked the council to relocate and preserve a Lorenzo Manufacturing Company sign scheduled to be removed during a demolition at 508 Harrison, proposing it be mounted on the old lumber yard wall and painted in school colors.
Karin Furnish told the Lorenzo City Council she wants a historic painted sign created by the Lorenzo Manufacturing Company saved from an upcoming demolition at 508 Harrison and made a permanent welcome feature for the town.
"I understand that next Tuesday the City will be having the demolition at 508 Harrison and part in front of that building is a sign that was done by the Lorenzo Manufacturing Company which was presented to the City and I would like to make a suggestion...that they be allowed to move the sign possibly to the end of the old lumber yard on the part of the building that has the solid wall that faces Harrison and make it its permanent home," Furnish said. She suggested painting a border in black and purple to reflect Lorenzo High School colors.
The comment came during the public-comment portion of the Aug. 11 meeting and did not prompt a formal vote or direction in the minutes. Council did not record an immediate decision; the minutes list the comment as an item for council consideration. The council may take up the suggestion in a future agenda item or during staff follow-up.
