The goals of the Alliance are to improve the visibility, connectivity, and sustainability of the arts and culture sector as part of the broader fabric of regional Upper Peninsula development.

Yard and Campaign Sign Placement Reminder

As the Nov. 8 General Election approaches there has been an increase in yard signs being placed on both private property and in the right-of-way around the City.

As a reminder to residents, the City’s regulations regarding yard signs are as follows:

Residents may place up to four non-commercial yard signs – not to exceed 24 square feet in total area – on their private property.

Residents are not permitted to place signs in the right-of-way, and these signs will be removed.

In addition, signs related to the parties, candidates or proposals on the Nov. 8 ballot are considered campaign materials under state law and are not permitted within 100 feet of any entrance to a polling location.
