Planners Learn the Fundamentals of Signs
Planners and code enforcement officials from 11 jurisdictions in Alabama and Tennessee participated in the ISA/MSSA/SFI Planning for Sign Code Success event on July 19th in Huntsville, Ala. One of seven industry/planner events planned for 2013, these day-long conferences are excellent forums to educate local sign code officials about the benefits of signs to businesses and communities. Attendees learned about sign construction technologies, how to effectively treat EMCs, legal issues in sign regulation, the economic impact of signs, the process in developing sign codes and the policy implications of urban wayfinding.
ISA, its Affiliated Associations and the Signage Foundation Inc., are dedicated to educating planners on the value of on-premises signs, with the goal of helping them create reasonable and beneficial sign codes across the country. For more information, contact ISA’s David Hickey.
