The sign would be placed on Union Plaza property near the Lottery's first floor Claim Center facing Capitol Avenue. The sign will include the following three-dimensional letters: This is WINNING. Individuals will be encouraged to interact with the sign and stand as the "I" in "WINNING." "This is Winning" is a theme of the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery which represents their vast contributions to the state of Arkansas and higher education. The Lottery helps create winning people, winning futures and winning moments. Since 2009, there have been more than 275,000 college scholarships awarded worth more than $724 million. Adding to that is $2.4 billion in prizes, $206 million in retailer commissions and millions in state tax revenue. We believe the sign will bring tremendous value to both city residents and visitors who frequent our area, promoting positive and fun community engagement. The sign stands adjacent to the Main Street Creative Corridor, an area which serves as a cross-section of business, arts and culture. The art installation will also inspire sharable digital content through personal photography that is uploaded on social media, thus promoting downtown Little Rock as a destination. Our request for variance on behalf of our tenant, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, is due to the permanent nature of the sign in the downtown Little Rock area on Union Plaza building property. The sign specifications are as follows: 48" tall on left side, 67" tall on right side and 180" wide. Letters will be 4-6" in depth, and the sign will be permanently fixated to the ground and include a base that is 36" deep. Please review the enclosed proposal and design for additional details. We appreciate your service to the city and consideration of this project.
