Select Board backs exploring a municipal electronic sign; asks staff to return options and costs

Select Board members on Sept. 8 expressed support for pursuing a municipal sign to display meeting times, public hearings and town notices, while debating whether an electronic sign is the right aesthetic and function. Staff said grants may be available to offset costs and the village offered potential in‑kind assistance with electrical work.

Board members asked staff to develop several options with price points and potential funding sources rather than proceed immediately with a large installation. "Does the board support us looking at different options for a sign, looking at alternative ways to fund it?" staff asked; consensus was reached to proceed with research and return with a clean funding proposal.
