Sign code modernization, murals, and personal speech signs
Cornelius
Summary
The town wants to update its sign rules — bigger blade signs downtown, A-frames on more streets, content-neutral personal speech signs, and clearer mural standards. Some board members worry the town can't regulate mural content and want more legal information before voting. Decision pushed to November.

Impact analysis
No direct tax impact, but looser sign rules could affect downtown streetscape and business advertising.
Businesses get more sign options (blade signs, A-frames, directional signs), and residents get clearer rules for yard signs and murals.
Some members worry residents could face controversial or offensive murals and personal-speech signs the town legally cannot regulate by content.
