STREETSCAPE SPONSORSHIP

Streetscape Sponsorship Campaign

About the Campaign

The Share Your Story on Merchant Street Campaign offers community members and local businesses an opportunity to sponsor items along Merchant St. that will enhance the beauty and functionality of the Borough's streets. Each sponsored item will not only contribute to the Borough's charm but also include a QR Plaque. These plaques allow sponsors to share their personal stories or promote their businesses while fostering community pride and connection. By participating, you’ll leave a lasting legacy in Borough and help improve shared spaces for all.


Why Participate?

  1. Share Your Story: Each sponsored item includes a QR Plaque that links to a Digital Story, allowing you to share photos, captions, and memories with the community.
  2. Create a Lasting Tribute: Dedicate an item that symbolizes your connection to the community and tells your story for generations to come.
  3. Promote Your Business or Organization: Support the enhancement of our public spaces while gaining visibility through your sponsorship. Your contribution will be recognized and celebrated, connecting your brand with the community in a meaningful way.



Guidelines

How to Participate:

  1. Browse the Map and Pick an Item: View the available Streetscape sponsorship options, such as benches, light poles, and more.
  2. Submit Payment: Once you’ve selected an item, click “Participate Now” to complete your sponsorship and pay online. You will receive an email with a letter acknowledging your tax-deductible contribution.
  3. Customize your Plaque and Digital Story: After your contribution is processed, you will receive an email inviting you to join SeeMyLegacy. Here, you can personalize your QR Plaque message and begin crafting your Digital Story, which will be accessible to the community through the plaque.

Our Guidelines:

  1. Installation: This is a multi-year project, with sponsored items being installed beginning in the Spring of 2025.
  2. Generic Public Use: Sponsors acquire no right, title, or interest in the sponsored item or QR Plaque beyond those expressly identified. Sponsored items will remain open and available for general public use in accordance with Borough policies.
  3. Content Moderation: Borough reserves the right to reject any proposed QR Plaque message or moderate a digital story containing language that is obscene, lewd, defamatory, infringes upon third-party rights, is factually inaccurate, or is otherwise inappropriate
  4. Maintenance: The Borough will maintain the sponsored items for the period of their expected useful life. As these streetscape elements are designed to last for decades, the borough is committed to caring for your sponsored item over the long-term to ensure it remains a lasting part of the community.
