DPIE To Auction Off Street Naming Rights
The Dublin City Council approved a request to provide the Dublin Partners in Education (DPIE) with the right to name two streets in Dublin. DPIE will be auctioning off the street naming rights at their upcoming Celebrity Waiter “Dinner Partners in Education” event to be held on October 23rd.
The streets will be located in two of Dublin’s new developments:
- Schaefer Ranch in the west Dublin hills (in construction) developed by Discovery Homes.
- Fallon Crossing in east Dublin off of Tassajara Road (in planning) developed by Standard Pacific Homes.
Why would developers give the street naming rights away?
While the cost to developers for granting street naming rights is minimal, it is a terrific way to build goodwill with the residents of Dublin and their leadership. This goodwill can be cashed in like poker chips when it is time for development plan proposals and changes.
Previous street names that were auctioned off include Houston Place and Lockhart Street – both named in honor of Dublin’s former Mayors. Could we see a Sbranti Way at Schaefer Ranch or Fallon Crossing?
