Signs of the future
Where will your project take place?
Downtown Scottville
Briefly Describe Your Project Idea:
Many of our downtown buildings have changed hands in the past year. . Something that has been a hurdle is the removal of exterior signage of previous businesses. The Scottville DDA would like to start a project to assist building owners to replace those old signs and make it easier to install new.
Why does your community need this project?
Scottville is experiencing a rapid growth in business and development. The small downtown building owners need help to compete and assisting them with this project to beautify their properties and remove the unsightly signs is a big visual step forward. There are multiple business with old, dilapidated facades and this has really come together with the support of multiple downtown businesses.
What do you hope to achieve through this project?
We want the view through “Downtown” to be that small-town, Norman Rockwell look. Every year it is lined with American Flags, flower barrels, and then you have the unsightly old signage and weather beaten pocket park. We’re making good progress but need a boost to add more barrels, flowers, and get rid of the signs!!
