Township signs spark controversy in Neshannock hearings
The Neshannock Township supervisors heard two objections to business signs for the Sheraton Inn in West Middlesex and Castle Hills Golf Course. Attorney Sherman Levine argued township rules on off premises signs are too sweeping and likely unconstitutional, while the Natl Advertising Co said the Sheraton sign has existed since the 1960s and fits zoning use. the Castle Hills sign was cited for a directional placement away from the golf club. The matters were sent to the township solicitor for review. Also, the board nears adoption of the National Fire Code, with Fire Chief Gene King and Police Chief James Reed backing action to empower officials against fire hazards.
