Sign going up on U.S. Cellular Center, former Civic Center

Share

The new sign is being installed on the former Civic Center downtown. Twitter reports say the sign is 53 feet long, LED-lit and visible from I-240.

What do you think?

The city has wasted so much money performing study after study completing very little or nothing at least this is cash flow and a few things were improved although I have not been in to see what was done. Now we can wait to see how long it takes city officials to piss away any additional cash received from US Cellular on further studies and yes they will still do nothing.

Does anyone know how much cash has been spent on civic center studies over the previous 20 years? Next what was work was completed after each study and how much was spent per project?

Cheers

I think it looks like a sign that doesn’t comply to the sign ordinance …

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! Maybe we can put a sign on Asheville City Hall next. Think how much money we could get for that! I, for one, will only refer to this building as “that building formerly known as the Asheville Civic Center”.
