The webinar will introduce new tools and strategies\, and participants will learn how to calibrate existing tools in order to realize desired outcomes. Examples will showcase creative ways to integrate equitable development into the planning process to make communities better.

However\, many communities are relatively unfamiliar with this rapidly evolving technology\, and have concerns that these kinds of signs will create aesthetic\, safety and enforcement problems for their communities. Nearly all stakeholders struggling with digital signs and their regulation often have the same questions\, such as: \n\nWhat really are these digital signs and how do they work?\nHow is electronic technology evolving?\nIs there any way for the community-at-large to actually benefit from them?\nHow can we strike a balance between allowing businesses to use digital signs without creating aesthetic concerns?\nHow do we allow them without looking like Las Vegas\, or negatively impacting community safety?\nHow do we regulate them in ways that are understandable and enforceable\, without having to hire additional staff?\n\nHosted by James Carpentier\, AICP\, and presented by Wendy Moeller\, and Mike Freeborg\, Director of Government Relations for YESCO\, the presentation of answers these questions\, and provides practical\, solution-focused guidance that can set the foundation for regulations that allow for the opportunity to leverage this technology while protecting community aesthetic values and safety concerns. \nClick here to register.
