Temporary Sign Ordinance - Village Council recently decided to

in an effort to improve our regulations concerning both temporary and
permanent signs. Remember, only the temporary sign regulation has been
suspended until September. We invite you to participate in this zoning code review and appreciate suggestions and input regarding sign regulations. Please fax comments to 419-877-5635 or e-mail to bknisely@whitehouse.ohio.gov Comments should be provided by May 30, 2008, to ensure they will be received in time to be considered in the review. |
