What’s hard about this:
. church exists,
. church building built in 1924,
. church is neighborhood anchor,
. church helps community,
. church wants to keep neighbors informed,
. church sign is worn out,
. church wants to replace sign,
. church can’t replace sign with similar,
. church decides to look at alternatives,
. church looks at newer technology,
. church decides on new technology,
. church wants sign to fit building design,
. church asks city permission to install new sign,
. church is fought by city and some neighbors,
. church fights back,
. church appeals to city council,
. church convinces city council to bite back,
. church and neighborhood win.
Congratulations Augustana Lutheran Church on getting your sign permission from the Sioux Falls City Council November 1, 2016.
