Referenced Plans and Documents
1. Sign Proposal, prepared by Concept Signs, 57 Bridge Street, Salem, MA 01970, dated 10/06/2020.
2. Staff Comments dated 10/14/20.
Condition of Approval

he/she/they shall return to the DRB to review proposed modifications prior to making any changes
in the field.

downtown’s vitality.
