Vice Mayor Lou Waters, announced the Town Council approved the new signs for the Oro Valley Marketplace by a 4-3 vote at their most recent meeting. The signs will be one third smaller and will face the Oracle/Tangerine roads. Folks from the Marketplace were present at the Council meeting and described the  layout and the situation on signs, including the information regarding the placement of the Marketplace was supposed to be facing another direction. There was a feeling the Marketplace has the appearance of a distribution center when viewed from Oracle Road. Members of the Town Council felt the signs were a matter of visibility for the businesses. Even with the less bright signs which were approved, Vestar, the Marketplace Developer, has agreed to comply with new Town Codes as they are written regarding the brightness or intensity of the light signs. Sales revenues for the Town of Oro Valley have been falling, so business support has become an important issue, especially the Marketplace which is responsible for so many of our tax dollars.
