A new county sign ordinance will go before the Monroe County Planning Commission on Wednesday in Marathon. The county started tweaking its sign ordinance after some business owners complained that they weren't allowed to place A-frame signs in their parking lots along U.S. 1. The proposed ordinance would allow the signs as long as they are not placed in the right-of-way, and would allow signs for businesses that do not have highway frontage.
