April Business Improvement District Meeting Highlights

Thanks to our sponsors

The Springfield BID discussed the following at their April Board meeting:

Board members will schedule a date next week to meet with the Wayfinding Sign Company and view the actual sign out on the street. The group wants to make sure it is sized properly before they order the remainder of signs to be installed.

The window designs that will be covering the vacant windows on the redevelopment project on Morris Ave. is completed. The BID will email it out to companies to get proposals for printing and installation. The BID voted to install these in the windows of the vacant building to provide interest and excitement for the upcoming project. The goal is to let people know that the Springfield Downtown is close to being revitalized and reenergized!  See "samples" below.  (These are not the final images)

B. Lippman and M. Scalera will be meeting with members of the Planning Board to begin discussing and developing design criteria for the business district. The goal is to provide guidelines for facade and sign improvements.
