Update to the Eatonton Ghost Sign Restoration Project

10/5/2019

Dear Professor Norman,

The following is a summary of recent activity for our project.

We had a meeting with the Downtown Development Authority who showed lots of interest and provided some gant leads for matching funds. The building owners have pledged to cover much of  the cost of the project.

Funding Request with DDA

We contacted the Uncle Remus Museum for permission to use their location for a "Welcome to Eatonton" sign.

Welcome sign request

Action Points:

1. Were hopeful you can provide some kind of mock ups for approval by the board. 
2. We have commitment for rooms for the painters to use.
3. What kind of Deposit would you require to begin? 

Thanks

Keith Rowell

Possible Schedule Impacts?

Some changes have been made to the sign list.

1 gold ring flour ---   Blackwell's    (this one is overlapped by the shoe sign, so the shoe sign will probably take precedence, i.e. the flour sign will not be painted here)

2 blue shoes   ---   Blackwell's     (this one should probably take precedence)

3 Coca cola   ---   Blackwell's      (slight chance of a grant from coca cola - definite local history in the grocer part)

4 Hearn farm supply   ---   KT Hooper     (definite local history )

5 livery # 1   ---   KT Hooper         (design TBD)

6 livery #2   ---   KT Hooper         (design TBD)

7 welcome    ---   Remus on chiropractor building      (Uncle Remus Museum must be contacted in regards)

8 Alice's bldg --- 2nd floor above antiques (was not addressed in the estimate)

9 gold ring flour    ---   MAD building by railroad          (Board agreed it's a prime candidate)

I need Jimmy Marshal and Roddy Anne's email addresses.
