NH town reverses course, votes to allow electronic sign with Bible verses ADF-allied attorney’s lawsuit prompts Chichester to approve sign originally rejected for its ‘dangerous,’ ‘distracting’ religious content
CONCORD, N.H. — The Chichester Planning Board voted 5-2 Thursday to allow an electronic roadside sign that will display a new Bible verse every day. Dozens of similar message signs currently exist along U.S. Route 4, yet town officials denied Signs for Jesus’ sign over the past 10 months. The vote reverses the latest February denial that spurred an ADF-allied attorney to file a lawsuit last month on behalf of the religious nonprofit organization, which was finally granted a building permit Friday.
