HONORARY STREET NAME SIGN APPLICATION

524 W. Exchange St, Crete, IL 60417

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM: The Honorary Street Name Sign Program allows citizens the opportunity to honor people that have made significant contributions to the Community. Street names will be displayed for a one-year period. The sign will then be turned over to the respected party. Street designations will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The portion of a street so designated will be one block long. Final approval is given by the Village Board. A completed application, plus a fee of $300 per sign must be submitted prior to approval.

1. Required Submittals

Please submit the following items along with your request:

A typed request stating the designee and preferred location shall be received by the Village Clerk's Office and recommended to the Village Board. The statement should indicate why a particular section of street has been requested for the honorary designation.
Elected Officials and people running for elected office are not eligible for nomination for a period of 6 months before an election.
General location shall be limited to a single point or one block on a village street. Payment of the $300 fee per sign and installation is to be made to the Village of Crete prior to approval of the application.
The $300 fee is for a 2-faced sign on one end of the street. If the application is denied, the fee will be refunded to the applicant.
