If you have worked to improve a sign code in your community, then you know firsthand that such work can often be extremely complex and difficult. It’s a process that can take up too much of your valuable time and resources. Outdated, confusing or restrictive sign codes can prevent you from getting your customers the signs they need — and hurt your company’s bottom line.
That’s why ISA spends a significant amount of time and resources educating local officials about how effective sign regulations can benefit business and communities.
“After I got the call on Friday, ISA immediately jumped on an evaluation and had a long list of talking points by Sunday night. ISA’s letter and team credentials were pivotal in the zoning commission backing off of their proposal, stopping and scheduling work meetings with the industry. In essence, this thing is now stopped and being reconsidered – thanks to ISA.”
– Jeff Young, YESCO
