Overview
In this on-demand webinar you will learn how a variety of jurisdictions regulate and promote the restoration of iconic community signs. In addition, you will learn how historic signs can promote tourism and enhance economic development. Historic and vintage signs can rekindle fond memories of the past, transporting us to a time and place when nearly all businesses were locally-owned shops on Main Street, USA. Today, these signs represent a one-of-a-kind piece of nostalgia and art, as vivid as a neon landmark. The presentation is based on the Sign Research Foundation’s article on Regulating Historic & Vintage Signs, which provides best practices from the communities featured in the presentation. Speakers include Dan Bursick, AICP planner, City of Tucson AZ; Anthony Riederer, AICP, Senior Design and Preservation Planner for Clackamas County OR, and James Carpentier, AICP, Director of Local & State Government Affairs, International Sign Association.
