Sign Regulation Workshop

The Michigan Sign Regulation Guidebook Training is a collaborative effort with the non-profit Scenic Michigan and is geared toward local units of government that have zoning—from elected officials to planning commissioners and interested public.  A 2015 US Supreme Court decision, Reed v. Town of Gilbert, rendered most of Michigan’s local sign regulations unconstitutional. Since then, communities have been slow to adopt defensible regulation.  This two-hour webinar and accompanying guidebook will provide an invaluable training to local officials on balancing constitutional protections with appropriate sign regulation.
