Project Description
An electronic billboard that will be approximately 23’wide x 10’ tall will be installed on the north east corner of the College Ave. Parking Deck. The frame will have an Uptown Normal logo printed perpendicularly on its side. The project will represent a partnership with Uptown Partners and the Town. The Town’s contribution to the project will be in the amount of $60,000. The remaining cost, approximately $50,000 will be financed through Uptown Partners. A portion of the time slots on the billboard will be sold to advertisers to help offset the project cost. The remaining time will be split between Uptown Partners and the Town to promote their respective interests including displaying general information, way finding, and promotion of events.
