Mansfield Mural Sponsorships Plans Draw Concerns From Selectmen

Work on the Mansfield Community Mural may be underway but a plan to put sponsorships on the wall has drawn concern from the selectmen.

Speaking at the July 10 meeting mural committee members Scott Briganti and Ken Butler explained that the mural was to feature eight sponsors that donate $5,000 to the project on the end of the wall in a gray, faux engraving style.

The logos were expected to take up 48 square feet of space on the 400-foot mural but objections from the selectmen appear to have killed the idea.

“I’m very concern and upset on the amount of advertising on the mural. To me, Mansfield isn’t for sale,” selectman Doug Annino said. “We go at long lengths to scrutinize banners to make sure corporate logos are not on them. I don’t think it’s fair to the townspeople.
