SUBJECT:
Signage Placement Along Major Routes Entering Frederick County
DATE:
August 15, 2014
The Frederick County Economic Development Authority is proposing to install signage along the
major routes entering Frederick County, those being Routes 7, 11, 50, and 522, as a way of
establishing Frederick County's identity and promoting the county as a business destination.
This initiative was one of the phase 1 recommendations taken from the County's business
friendly initiative. The signage would be placed the shoulders of the respective routes.
This proposal was sent to the Transportation Committee for review and recommendation. The
Committee recommended the Board direct the EDA to proceed with signage on the primary
routes noted above.
At the Authority's June 3, 2014 meeting, the members approved the following:
1. Placement of signs at the border of the county at Route 7, 50 (east/west), 11 (north/south),
and 522 (north/south).
2. The attached sign design/message.
3. The use of urethane and brick masonry sign materials, depending on the signs location.
You will find attached some sample signage showing metal signs, medium density
overlay panel, and high density urethane foam.
Staff is seeking Board action regarding the design, materials, and placement of signage.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
