On August 16, 2016, city officials briefed candidates seeking local office regarding the regulation of campaign signs. Given the record number of people running for elective office this year, Director of Permits and Inspections Douglas K. Smith said that the city wanted to get out in front of potential issues of inappropriate sign placement through an education initiative. In (silent) partnership with the city, PCW has posted a video of the information session and a copy of the handout provided to those in attendance. Please direct questions to the Department of Permits and Inspections at 757 393-8531.
