New ordinance would allow signs

An amendment up for adoption tonight would allow Independence Township businesses to post temporary signs.
The amendment, up for second reading and adoption at tonight’s Board of Trustees meeting, would allow businesses to post signs on a limited basis. The current sign ordinance does not allow for temporary signs. If passed, businesses would be able to apply for permits to put up portable, temporary signs. Signs would be limited to commercial, office, and industrial zones, and to a height of four feet.
The township board will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Independence Township Library, 6495 Clarkston Road. For more information, call 248-625-2585.
