Purpose & Explanation
The Leadership Hudson Class of 2012-13 decided to pursue city beautification and enhancing community wellness as it goals.

The specific locations would replace existing signage on Darrow Road (2) and Streetsboro Street (2).
If City Council agrees that this project has merit, then several participants from the Leadership Hudson Class of 2012-13 would like to work with City staff and a local sign vendor to develop a few prototype designs for a new entrance sign. Once the prototype designs are completed, then City staff will return to City Council to share the prototype sign designs. If/when a new sign design is selected, then the Leadership Hudson Class of 2012-13 would donate $10,000 toward the project.
