He explained that the commission declined to recommend the <br />existing proposal at the previous commission meeting. Mr. Hickman, owner of Furniture and Things <br />was in attendance to explain his expectations. <br />Mr. Hickman shared that he was satisfied with the current signage at the PT complex and what <br />already had been done. As far as the welcome plaza, he and his brother thought it would be a good <br />opportunity to be added to the project, but he does not have the expectation of that being part of the <br />existing sponsorship agreement requirements. He shared that the existing welcome plaza proposal <br />appears to be a fancy driveway. He would be fine if it were scaled back to save money. <br />Page 3 of 69 <br />
