Village Seeks Public Input Tonight Regarding Glen Ellyn's New Sign Regulations

The Village of Glen Ellyn will hold a public meeting Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Glen Ellyn Civic Center, 535 Duane St., to consider proposed changes to the village’s sign regulations. 

The meeting will take place at a regular meeting of the Architectural Review Commission, which begins at 7:30 p.m. The sign portion of the meeting is expected to begin at about 8 p.m. 

According to village staff, a comprehensive rewrite of the Sign Code is planned with the goal of making it more user-friendly and better aligning the village’s sign regulations with the needs of businesses. The design for the new signs, a part of the Village’s 2009 Downtown Strategic Plan, aims to help drive the local economy. They still are being fine-tuned after a wayfinding study by The Lakota Group found residents want a traditional, New England style for their signage.

The public is encouraged to attend Wednesday's meeting and provide thoughts and input into the process. Contact Planning and Development Director Staci Hulseberg at (630) 547- 5241 for more information.
