RDA Get Thumbs Up From City Council on New Signage Plan

The Asheville City Council approved a new signage plan submitted by the River District Artists (RDA). RDA is an organization of more than 100 artisan members and associate members who work, live, and/or play in the River Arts District community. City planner, Alan Glines, worked with RDA and presented the plan to the City Council. Pattiy Torno, owner of Curve Studios, co-founder of RDA, and chair of the River District Design Committee spoke in favor of the plan.

The plan calls for more flexibility within the City’s existing regulations to allow for new signage that will enhance the District’s unique identity. Signs will be established to orient visitors to the area and to provide directional information to key points of interest within the district. New signage will feature the District’s existing logo (seen here).
