Neighborhood Association Signs

The City of Green Bay Community and Economic Development Department has put together guidelines to assist neighborhoods in developing neighborhood association identification signage that enhances and contributes to Green Bay neighborhoods’ unique charm and beauty.

These guidelines are intended to encourage both sign design quality and creativity while complementing the character of each specific neighborhood they serve. By providing these guidelines, this document will help facilitate a speedy review and approval by assisting neighborhood associations to better understand the City’s approval process while meeting each neighborhood’s design expectations.
