Mausert Block Signage Application on Hold Pending Revisions

ADAMS, Mass. — The Mausert Block signage permit application is on hold while it is revised to comply with the town’s current sign bylaw.

During the Zoning Board meeting last month, architect Stephen Stenson requested a special permit for signage at 19A and 19B Park St., which he aims to design in a way that aligns with the historical architecture of the building and improves visibility.

Stenson has been working to renovate the historic Mausert Block, already opening 10 two-bedroom apartments at 21 Park Street.

However, during the meeting, board members were hesitant to blanketly approve the overall sign bar rather than individual business signs.

The hearing was continued, with Stenson planning on returning with a more detailed proposal showing exactly how the signage would look.

Stenson told iBerkshires that the planned Sept. 8 hearing had been put on hold while he prepared more information, and "hopefully" plans to represent next month. The Tuesday meeting was also canceled because there wasn’t a quorum.
