Will the Citgo Sign Last Forever?
The Boston Landmarks Commission held a public hearing on Tuesday night to decide the fate of Fenway's beloved Citgo sign.
The future of the iconic sign has been in question since Related Beal acquired several buildings in Fenway from Boston University back in 2016. The famous sign, which often makes appearances during Red Sox's broadcasts, has been looking over the area since 1965.
Related Beal's plan is for a long-term lease for the sign that would leave it in its current state on top of 660 Beacon for years to come.
However, landmarking the sign is a different story. If the city of Boston were to do so, new regulations that are a part of preservation could greatly impact the development of the area in order to preserve views of the sign.
Regardless of the decision made by the commision, Mayor Walsh and the City Council will have the final say on the fate of the sign at 660 Beacon Street.
