Downtown Additions Discussed During North Judson Town Council Meeting

North Judson Town Council members considered the purchase of 30 new banners from OTES Signs and Graphics when they met last Monday.

Councilman James Young explained that the town already has the mounting brackets and hardware needed to hang them, so they would just need to buy the banners themselves. He said the price for all 30 banners came to $960, which breaks down to $32 per banner.

He added that the look of the new banners would be consistent with existing signage, “With a design that would look similar to what we have coming into town, it just says ‘Welcome to North Judson’, something bright and colorful.”

Councilman Josh Brown stated that he thought the banners looked great and other council members were in agreement. The motion to purchase all 30 banners passed with unanimous approval.

Young also informed members about a few potential projects that he’s been looking into with North Judson-San Pierre art teacher Clayton Howard, “I also talked to the high school art teacher about painting fire hydrants and some possible murals on some of the buildings downtown.”

Young explained, “He’s supposed give us a report about coordinating with the art class to be doing that in the near future.”

No official actions were taken on those proposed ideas. However, Young said he will continue speaking with Mr. Howard about the painting projects.
