SIGN UP

Roundtable Discussion regarding the roles, rules and regs of
signage in PW County.

Thursday, April 15th , 8:30-9:30 a.m.
PWC-GMCC Main Office 8963 Center Street, Manassas, VA 20110

Friday, April 16th, 8:30-9:30 a.m.
Branch Office 8963 Center Street 7450 Heritage Village Plaza, Suite 202, Gainesville, VA 20155

You are invited to join Nick Evers, PWC Zoning Administrator, in a roundtable discussion regarding the important role that signage plays in sustaining healthy local commerce. Signage has been an integral part of the zoning ordinance since its inception in 1958. As both the County and the sign industry have evolved, our sign regulations have become more expansive and complex, resulting in misunderstandings and breaches in both the standards and the permitting process.

To facilitate a more clear and coordinated effort between the business community and the County in establishing and regulating signs, the Zoning Office would like to better discern the issues associated with signage and obtain feedback on how we can improve both the standards and the process. Registration for this event is required.

Space is limited. Please contact Mary Leslie to register by Tuesday, April 12th.
