Stevens-Buswell Community Center portico sign
Bedford
Description
A two-part black-and-gold sign for the Community Center's portico ahead of its grand opening — larger than zoning allows, so a Planning Board conditional use permit and Building Department sign permit are still required.
Impact summary
The veterans' memorial community center gets a single, unlit sign visible from both roads.
