At the April 9th, 2025 town board meeting, the board approved Ordinance 2025-01.

This Ordinance regulates all signs within the Town of Grant that are visible from the public right-of-way, visible from navigable waterways, or visible from another parcel. The intent of the Ordinance is to (1) protect the aesthetic character of the town, (2) make visual communication among places of business and the public easy, (3) promote traffic safety, (4) restrict off-premises signage to reduce clutter, (5) minimize the possible adverse effect of signs on nearby public and private property, and (6) provide restrictions for zoning districts.
