The City of Globe would like to apologize for the recent banner program letters distributed in partnership with Community Showcase Banners. This program was originally initiated prior to the September flood event as a way to celebrate our community and, later, to support business visibility in Historic Downtown Globe while highlighting the resilience of our region. While those intentions were positive, we recognize that we did not adequately consider the program’s cost given the ongoing challenges many residents and businesses continue to face. After listening to community feedback, it became clear that this program was not the right fit for Globe at this time. As a result, the City has canceled its agreement with Community Showcase Banners, and the program will not move forward. While the City had planned to explore having the banners produced locally in an effort to support local businesses while also providing an additional location for business marketing, the program did not advance far enough for those discussions or arrangements to take place. We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their concerns. Community feedback matters, and it helps ensure that our decisions remain aligned with the needs and priorities of the people we serve. We regret the frustration and disappointment this program caused and sincerely apologize for the oversight. Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to engage with us as we work to move our community forward.
