2. Progress on Historic District Signage was discussed. Two signs, one at each end-of
the District on West Street with "Entering" on the appropriate side. Style of signs black
with gold lettering and red border with gold ball on top of pole - was discussed and
approved. There will be no lighting. Town is on board with locating and installing signs,
but will not provide funds for signs. Funding for signs needs to be determined (from
Reading Historic Commission, Neighbor fundraising, etc.). Location of sign at
Freemont Street end needs to be determined as there is no grass strip to place sign. Sign
may need to be placed on a homeowners property. This needs further investigation.
3. Community Outreach ideas discussed.
4. Tasks assigned - Dorothy to continue with signage; Mike to investigate preparation of
Inventory Forms; Kathy to coordinate Neighborhood Event (walk, parry, etc.); Dave to
coordinate Web Site and PR with Community Connection mailing - articles, etc.
3. Meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm.
