Some Greenwood City Council members are suggesting that Mayor Carolyn McAdams move slowly on proposing a new sign ordinance. McAdams said this morning that the plan to form a sign ordinance review committee - an idea advanced on Feb. 16 - is beginning to take shape. “We’ve gotten some names, some acceptances and some declines as well,” the mayor said. The review committee will contain one representative from the council as well as business and community leaders and sign company representatives. Particular emphasis will be placed on business owners along U.S. 82.

Our company in the Boston area, like architectural signage firms everywhere, routinely receives bid requests from general contractors for the "signage" subcontract portion of construction projects. Unfortunately, we usually encounter documentation that is so seriously flawed we are unable to prepare an accurate bid. Here are just a few of the problems we have seen: 1. The signage documentation package normally includes a written spec, but almost never includes drawings, a sign message schedule, or sign location plans...

It's not inconceivable to imagine and expect truly smart cities. It's not inconceivable because it is already being done. Why should you care if you're in advertising? Because creating smart spaces means that you can deliver retail or branding experiences that are personalized for your audiences while collecting more information about your audiences than you know what to do with yet. Smart spaces have the capacity to create highly curated experiences that matter. They can provide useful or entertaining information, they can connect people and places, they can streamline processes and expose invisible inefficiencies. They can make lives better.
