Mattapoisett Land Trust Banner Policy
In support of community organizations, the Mattapoisett Land Trust (MLT) allows the placement of banners on our property at the southeast corner of North Street and County Street (Route 6). Due to limited space for banners, the following policy will govern. The MLT will permit the installation of banners that meet the following guidelines:
- Permission: Banners will be permitted only with advance approval by the MLT
- Eligible entities: Mattapoisett based non-profit and community based organizations, as well as the Town of Mattapoisett to announce functions and events, are eligible to use the space for banners
- Requests for use of the banner space will be reviewed for conformance with the policy and approved on a first come, first served basis. In the event there is not adequate space to accommodate all requests at any point in time, the MLT will prioritize banners for organizations that have not placed banners within the preceding 12 months
- Banner dimensions: In order to fit the signposts the face of the banner shall not exceed 2’ by 8’
- Duration: Banners may be installed for up to two weeks
- Location: Banners may be installed only upon the appropriate posts
- Responsible parties: Owners are responsible for installing and removing their own banners
- Unauthorized installation: Banners installed without MLT approval will be removed by the MLT, the owner will be notified that the banner will be available to be picked up at the MLT office
- Liability: The MLT is not responsible for damage to banners installed either with or without permission
MLT is the sole entity responsible for administering the banner policy. Requests for use of the MLT property for installing banners may be made at www.mattlandtrust.org and selecting Request for Banner Space item under the Connect link. Questions regarding this policy may be sent to banners@mattlandtrust.org.
