Fading sign proposed to be replaced by Scouts

Dear Mayor Hoots and Columbia City Council:

I am writing to you as a citizen of our community, and as a Boy Scout who wants to make a difference in our town. I saw an opportunity on Greensburg Road to improve first impressions of our wonderful city.

I am currently planning the groundwork for my Eagle Scout project and would like to seek your permission to remove the dilapidated sign and erect a new sign. I have enclosed pictures of the old sign, so you can observe for yourself the current condition of the sign.
