NORWICH – Mayor Joe Maiurano – at the conclusion of last week’s Common Council meeting – took a moment to remind city officials of an Oct. 19 presentation by Frankfort-based Edison Electronic Billboards, a brand name under Fiberdyne Energy. Proposed at the meeting – an electronic, LED billboard, which would be located on North Broad Street at the very edge of the city’s limits.

Advertising space on the two-sided electronic billboard would be sold by Edison to local businesses for $150 to $300 per month, and the city would have access to the billboard for the posting of announcements and upcoming events, and in case of emergency or any time city officials needed to get an important message out to the general public. In addition, Edison officials said their product can be of great benefit to local churches, schools and other educational facilities.

“We feel this has tremendous value to the citizens and businesses in Norwich,” stated Fiberdyne spokesperson James Jellose at the start of the October presentation, who added that such signs have been extremely successful in other communities.
