HUD_Signage_Requirements.docx

This is a signage requirements document issued by the Connecticut Department of Housing for projects funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The document specifies mandatory specifications for project signage that must be installed at the start of construction and removed upon completion. The sign must measure 8 feet in height by 4 feet in width and shall be constructed from MDO exterior plywood supported by two 4-by-4 treated wood columns secured 4 feet into grade. The signage must display the project name, sponsor/developer name, and identifying information for the State of Connecticut Governor, Department of Housing Commissioner, HUD, the relevant town or city, chief elected official, architect, and general contractor.

The signage specifications require all letters and symbols to be rendered in royal blue with a white enamel background, while the back of the plywood and support structure shall be painted matte black. Typography must use Helvetica Medium font. The sign must be positioned in a location clearly visible to the public and shall include the Connecticut state seal and logo as provided in the attached images. These requirements apply to the City of Meriden's CDBG-funded sidewalk, curbs, and ramps project on Oak Street and Liberty Street, ensuring compliance with federal funding source visibility and acknowledgment requirements.
