The was originally one component of the Village Master Plan to revitalize the downtown area, but the Board and Downtown Steering Committee decided to make the sign code a standalone item.

The code gives stores three years to conform to the new sign standards. Starkie stressed that he does not want the new code to be a "terrible hardship" for the store owners so a Community Development Block Grant the village received will be used to help offset this cost for many of the stores.
