Economic Development Sign Removal Assistance Program PW0402
Project Description
This project assists North Richland Hills businesses who voluntarily choose to remove their non-conforming signs. This project is a
cooperative effort between the Planning and Development Department and the Economic Development Department.

Project Justification
Supports the 2001 City Image Study that details issues concerning visual clutter along the City's thoroughfares. In response, the
City Council adopted a program that assists the voluntary removal of non-conforming signs in the 2003-2004 Capital Improvement
Budget. Business owners are not required to remove their signs; however, they may opt for city assistance should they choose to
do so. In concert with the Business Improvement and Growth (BIG) program, business owners can partner with the City on each
site-specific project by contacting or working with staff for inclusion in the Sign Removal Assistance Program. New business owners
cannot modify or change their non-conforming signs except under very limited conditions.
For eligible BIG program participants, the maximum sign removal assistance provided is $2,000 per program participant.

Note: The source of funds originate from the General Fund 'pay-as-you-go' reserve.
