Event Advertising

Sergeant Aaron Xavier Wittman Memorial Bridge

The Banner Poles located near the CSX Railroad Bridge on Route 10 are owned and administered by the Chester Business Association. The use of the poles is strictly limited to advertising events with appeal to the wider community of Chester and must be sponsored by non-commercial organizations.

  • Banners will be flown in place for no longer than 2 consecutive weeks.

  • All banners must conform to the signage standards set by the Chesterfield County Planning Department.

  • Banner should include the proper quantity and size of "wind slits" to protect against wind-related issues.

  • Banners are to be three (3) feet tall and no more than fifteen (15) feet long.

Banners must be received by the CBA no later than 2 weeks in advance of banner placement start date for timely placement.

The CBA Administrative Committee will process the completed application packets in the order that they are received. In case of conflicting requests for banner placement in any particular time period, the date of the check offered with the completed application will be decisive. Banners will not be placed any earlier than two weeks prior an event except for the purposes of the Administrative Committee in arranging for the hanging of a banner. Approved submissions will be contacted as to the procedure for placement of the Banner on the poles. Although we will do our best to have all banners hung in a timely manner, the CBA cannot and does not guarantee the timing of placement. In the case that a banner cannot be hung, a full refund of the fee will be made to the Sponsoring Organization.
