SANDWICH BOARD SIGN GRANT PROGRAM

In an effort to encourage businesses in Historic Dublin to enhance their A-Frame “Sandwich Board Signs”, would the CDC be open to exploring a grant program similar to the Façade Program for this reason?

It could be incorporated with the Façade Grant, or be a stand alone program.

Staff continues to research other like programs and what level of funding would be appropriate.
