Lower Gwynedd Township’s Board of Supervisors voted to allow sponsored signage on baseball fields

During its meeting on March 14th, the Lower Gwynedd Township Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to adopt an amendment to the township’s zoning code to permit sponsorship signs for the Lower Gwynedd Little League. The approved ordinance amends Title Six of the township’s code, entitled “Zoning” to add a new section to be entitled “Seasonal Little League Sponsorship Signs.”

The change will now allow the Little League to erect sponsorship signs at the township-owned baseball fields subject to certain terms and conditions, including shape, size, color, and material. The signs will be oriented to face the field of play and not the public rights-of-way or abutting properties.

Supervisor Michael Twersky shared that while he campaigned during the most recent election the opportunity to put up sponsored signage came up while speaking to families involved in the organization.
