South Hill neighborhood proposes to locate its second neighborhood sign on Knox Avenue in front of SPIE's building.
South Hill Neighborhood Association President
Ray Ballweg submitted a proposal to SPIE to put the sign adjacent to its property. A decision has yet to be made.
Ballweg said during a phone conversation Sunday that, he thinks SPIE will give South Hill permission to install the sign adjacent to its property.
Ballweg said the South Hill Neighborhood Association is planning to install one
sign per year. Last year South Hill put in its first neighborhood sign at the
south corner of 14th Street and South State Street.
The first sign cost $1,422 plus an additional $248
for permits. South Hill residents donated money to cover the cost of the sign
and permits. The current project is being funded by donations with help from
the association's treasury. The treasury collects membership fees, currently at $10 a
year, for their general treasury.
Not all of Bellingham's neighborhoods have neighborhood signs but the
adjacent neighborhoods of Fairhaven, Happy Valley, York and Sehome do.
