Faced with resident concern, Clarkston is in the process of updating its sign ordinance to ensure more uniformly sized and located business signs.

The city is setting up a team to review best practices elsewhere and solicit input from residents and business owners as it develops the new law. It should be ready for a vote next year.

Those interested in participating can contact Planning Director Jason Gaines at jgaines@cityofclarkston.com.
