New signage grant program announced for PA Wilds
A new grant program designed to improve signage and encourage use of the PA Wilds Design Guide will soon be available to communities and businesses in the PA Wilds region.
The grant program involves up to $1000 for business signs and up to $3000 for community signs. The business signs have a dollar-for-dollar cash match requirement (you put in $1000, they put in $1000). The community signs require only an in-kind contribution (that you install the sign and maintain it after it is installed).
Other requirements include demonstrating how your sign aligns with the spirit of the PA Wilds Design Guide, an award-winning planning document that promotes the use of materials and designs that fit in with the character of our region’s communities (for example, the use of wood, stone and other natural elements). Many communities are already using the Design Guide; its recommendations are all voluntary.
Guidelines and applications for the grant program will be posted on the PA Wilds Resource Center homepage (www.pawildsresources.org) under “Hot Topics” by Fri., Sept. 4. Deadline for applications is Nov. 2, 2009.
