Town Council discussed the Oyster Farm sign that stands on town property at Fig and Randolph streets. In 2016, the sign could go up as a temporary move to help visitors find the Oyster Farm, which the business considered to be in a remote location of the town. The provision was to stay in effect until the town erected wayfinding signs throughout the town. However, VDOT has indicated that wayfinding signs are no longer allowed.
Other competing businesses in town have complained that the allowing the Oyster Farm, and no one else to have signs in that location is unfair.
After discussion, it was consensus that the sign can stay until December, at which time it will be removed.

I believe that if live someplace for longer than 30 days it is considered my permanent residence. The sign was agreed to be put up as a temporary sign in 2016 ? Even if 30 days is not the legal time frame, 4 years certainly is waaaaay beyond temporary. The plan of inaction continues because the Town Council is feckless. Another silly and simple problem that does not get the correct and obvious attention.
