of the sign, which will be calculated by how well the sign is received by residents, it will be determined if future signs should be placed throughout the village, Mayor Roger Claar said. “I think it can be a nice benefit for the village,” Claar said. “We’ll see how it works.” The company will seek local businesses to advertise on the sign, which is 12 feet long and 6 feet high. The village will get 12 percent of the sign’s “air time” at no cost. The village will use the sign to notify residents and visitors of local public events, facilities and services, and emergency notifications. All messages will be on a fixed rotation of no less than 10 seconds per message.
