Historic District Panel Bans Plastic Signs in Historic Area
The Historic District Commission formally discourages plastic signs in the historic section after lengthy talks with a local signmaker for Fuji Hairstylists at 428 N Market St. The panel favors non plastic options and continues the application for a month while a different material is proposed. The group also reviewed the county courthouse complex plan and approved several other signs and renovations while continuing one sign request. The next panel meeting is set for Sept. 14 at City Hall.
