LED lights in Millerton

Millerton is well know for its rural character of welcoming shops and interesting eateries. LED signs are contrary to that ambience that welcomes citizens of our community as well as the many tourists that come to enjoy the benefits of our town. LED lights create an atmosphere of a strip mall and are distracting when driving into town. They are not necessary to attract business or to notify of events. The library, NECC and many of the Main street business, hotels and restaurants use simple letter and graphic signs which are very adequate. I urge the Village Board to vote, again, to ban LED lights use in Millerton.
