The ABACA was created by the Town Board in 1975.  The Board reviews all site plan and subdivision applications to provide guidance in the architectural design of proposed developments.  The ABACA also reviews commercial sign permit applications to maintain consistent, high quality, character enhancing signage is placed throughout town. 

A Signage Ordinance Manual was written in 2003 to be used as a companion to the Town's signage ordinance to guide business owners to navigate the sign ordinance as well as aid in the creation of signage that is unique to the individual character of each business hamlet.
