Mural Policy Development

Proposals for murals in Old Worthington have spurred a recognition that the City does not have a policy or guidelines in place for how proposals for murals should be considered. At the request of City Council, a task force was convened to provide recommendations on policy options for City Council to consider. City Council may then direct staff and the Code Review Committee to draft regulations based on options framed by the task force.
