An installation fee of $80 per event for banner placement, payable to the City of Louisburg,
to cover labor costs, is required with the completed application. (No refunds will be issued.)
Banners shall be installed and removed by City of Louisburg Public Works employees.
Banners should be delivered to City Hall 2 weeks prior to requested installation. All banners
must be picked up from City Hall within 2 weeks after they are removed or banners will be
discarded.
Applicant is responsible for any damage to any person or property that may occur due to
banner installation.
Locations:
Banners may be hung on City of Louisburg street light poles located directly on Broadway
Street (17 banners) or in the entire historic Downtown area (27 banners). A map of approved
poles is available online.
Any number of banners can be hung from 1 up to the maximum of 54 banners. In all
instances the City of Louisburg’s banner will hang on the street side of the pole with the
event banner hanging on the sidewalk side of the pole.
Banner Design and Construction:
A sketch of the banner showing type of material, design, copy and other specifications shall
accompany the application. In no circumstance should a sponsor logo be the most
prominent image on the banner.
Banner wording shall be approved by the City prior to issuance of a banner application to
ensure consistency with this policy. Deviation from the approved wording is cause for the
City to either refuse to install or to remove any banner.
Banners shall be 20” wide x 37” high.
Message may be placed on both sides of the banner.
All banners shall be made of a fabric which will be able to withstand typical weather
conditions. Fabric such as Sunbrella®, canvas or reinforced vinyl is recommended. If the
material is a tight-weave type (or otherwise impervious to air flow), the banner shall have
semi-circular wind relief cuts.
Banner edges shall be hemmed and reinforced.
Banners should have 3-inch sleeves at the top and bottom to slide onto the banner bracket.
A grommet may be added at the top and bottom of both sides of the banner so it may be
additionally secured to the light pole.
Banners that are torn or otherwise damaged will not be hung.
The City shall not be responsible for any damage to a banner.
