A June 10, 2026 Committee of the Whole report notes a tentative project budget of about $10,000, to be funded from the 2026 Economic Development operating budget, with filming over summer 2026 using a mix of drone and ground footage. Council is being asked on June 17, 2026 to formally approve the campaign and appoint two councillors to help shape messaging.One contractor has already expressed interest and given indicative pricing, but no award is recorded yet. This is a live marketing content opportunity for video producers, digital agencies, and tourism marketers to position services, suggest concepts, or bid on related work such as social media deployment and future phases of the broader marketing strategy called for in the 2026–2029 Strategic Plan.

Fire Department drone will be used for aerial footage; Council representatives will receive per diem compensation under Policy Council-013.

Public Updates

The committee reviewed a request from Matt Ellis of Signarama for the tenant to approve one new wall sign for the new business Bethany Sports Cards Plus at 123 Garfield Parkway, Unit 7. This is a private tenant signage item, not a town purchase. It is actionable only as a land-use/design lead tied to the named applicant and sign vendor.

212 Chiropractic requested sign exceptions for a permanent flat sign at 113 Plaza Drive in Wildwood Town Center. The request would allow a 66-square-foot sign and 100-inch lettering, above the city's limits. This is a private tenant-improvement signal tied to a retail/commercial site, so the key follow-on is sign fabrication and installation. Dr. Jerod Posey is the named applicant.

Public Updates

At its August 20, 2026 hearing, the Board of Adjustment was scheduled to consider The Leo at Wildwood's request for sign variances at 16700 Main Street. The proposal covered a new internally lit channel-letter sign on the north elevation, with 128-inch lettering and a 264-square-foot sign area instead of the code limits. The item was a live land-use request, so the seller angle is the ongoing sign buildout for the mixed-use project, not a city purchase.
