Florham Park Digital Sign Rules Weighed

It's high time to draw the line and define who may use the borough's prime signage, some Florham Park officials say.

Organizations interested in having a message posted on the borough's digital sign in front of town hall on Ridgedale Avenue soon might have a specific set of guidelines to follow.

Councilwoman Carmen Cefolo-Pane raised the possibility of establishing guidelines for the sign during the governing body's most recent work session, suggesting the borough spell out exactly who may use the sign and the proper way get their message on it.

Among the questions:

Who can use the sign? Community-based volunteer organizations while precluding for-profit companies was one suggestion.

How long can a message stay up? A week was one recommendation.

Do groups need to arrive at town hall in person to submit their message? What are the limits for the number of characters and lines?

Lacrosse signups and an upcoming pancake breakfast were among the messages on the sign this week.
