Bantam Borough medallions to be removed, State logo to replace speed wording on gateway signs

The Litchfield Design Review Advisory Committee recommended on July 2 that three gateway signs for the Borough of Bantam have their hanging medallions removed and the speed-related text replaced with the State logo recognizing Bantam's Bantam River Cultural District. R. Sheldon, Bantam Borough Warden, told the committee the medallion would be removed and that the speed wording would be replaced with the Cultural District recognition and State logo.

W. Westcott moved a favorable recommendation for the removal of the medallion and the substitution of the State logo and Cultural District language; B. Seamans seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The committee's action was recorded as a favorable recommendation; no further conditions or follow-up were specified in the meeting record.

The proposal covers three signs, including sites on Route 209 and Route 202. The committee did not record any required modifications beyond the medallion removal and wording change; next procedural steps (e.g., final permitting) were not specified in the minutes.
