Lacey gets earfull over signs

A public meeting on proposed changes to Lacey’s Sign Ordinance brought out nearly a dozen Lacey business owners Monday evenng.   And were they ever vocal.

With the most restrictive sign ordinance in the state – – and maybe the entire country – – business owners have been stymied time and again over sign restrictions in Lacey.   And, they voiced their frustrations over those restrictions.

Thanks to efforts by several Lacey councilmembers, the city is re-looking at its sign ordinance to make it more business friendly.   Monday’s meeting was the second in a series.   Recommendations for changes will be made to the Lacey Planning Commission which will then forward its recommendations to the Lacey City Council for final approval.

Any changes should be in place by September.

The large turnout of business owners was directed by the Lacey Chamber of Commerce which sent out notices of the meeting to all members.
