Are you up-to-date on the latest information regarding the legal requirements, technical aspects and economic impact involved in the regulation of signs? This educational workshop, Planning for Sign Code SuccessTM, is a great way to help planners and local officials learn more about an often complex and controversial issue—the drafting and enforcement of sign codes.
