Downtown Business Signage Program

The Tomah Chamber Foundation, in collaboration with the City of Tomah, and Zingler Sign and Design, have developed a program to fund business signage in Tomah’s downtown.

The purpose of this program is to help to beautify Tomah’s downtown and increase awareness of the businesses in the downtown district. An application will help determine if the outdoor sign request falls within the program’s scope and the City of Tomah’s guidelines.

To be considered, applicants must have their physical business location in downtown Tomah. Downtown Tomah is defined as the streets south of Washington Street, north of Cameron Street, east of McLean Avenue, and west of Kilbourn Avenue; also including those properties south of Council Street, north of Holton Street, east of Kilbourn Avenue, and west of Woodard Avenue.

This program is a temporary program and may discontinue when funding has been exhausted or reallocated for other use, at the discretion of the Tomah Chamber Foundation Board of Directors. Signage permitting for downtown businesses are not exclusive to this program and can be funded and permitted outside of this program. Proper permitting with the City of Tomah is required regardless of how signage is funded.

Applications that are approved through Zingler Sign and Design will be billed directly to the Tomah Chamber Foundation. Applications that are not through Zingler Sign and Design must be paid for by the business owner and, if preapproved through this application, will be reimbursed by the Tomah Chamber Foundation, up to a preapproved and agreed upon amount.

Completing an application does not guarantee an approved application, permit, or funding. The Tomah Chamber Foundation, The Greater Tomah Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Tomah, and Zingler Sign and Design are not responsible for any upkeep, maintenance, repair, or replacement of any business signage. All signage must be approved and permitted by the City of Tomah.
