Signs are on the agenda for tonight’s Princess Anne Town Commissioners.
The commission imposed a 120-day moratorium on new signs to give it time to consider a request by the Princess Anne Volunteer Fire Company to install an electronic sign in the town’s historic district.
But the town’s 1996 ordinance does not take into account the new electronic digital signs.
Fire company member Steven Smith says that the proposed 7 by 3 foot sign would be smaller than the existing message board that now sits on the sidewalk.
It would also be nearly 9 feet off the ground and would announce burn bans, rabies clinics and other information to the community.
The rules for the signs are tighter in the town’s historic district than in other parts
