    • Keep noise to a reasonable level. Use headphones for calls or music.

    Cleanliness

    • Please take all trash outside to the dumpster — do not leave it on the floor or in common areas.

    • Wash any dishes, mugs, or utensils you use so they’re ready for the next member.

    • Shared spaces (kitchen, coffee bar, lounge, printers) are for everyone. Clean up after use.

    Access & Security

    • Do not prop exterior doors open or allow unknown persons into the building.

    • Each member is responsible for their own guests and visitors. Guests must remain with you at all times.

    • On the 17th of the month, if payment has not been received, membership will be considered forfeited and the office or desk will be opened for new members.

    • Returned payments (NSF or chargebacks) will incur a $25 fee, which is the responsibility of the member.

  • Signage Policy

    At The Hickory Hub, we want to maintain a welcoming, professional, and safe environment for all members, guests, and the community. To keep our space consistent and compliant with the City of Hickory’s ordinances, we have established the following signage policy:

    ❌ Signs Not Permitted

    • No signs are allowed in the City right-of-way, including sidewalks or grassy strips along Main Ave NE.

    • No signs may be placed on utility poles or landscaping.

    • Unauthorized signage will be removed without notice.

    ✅ Signs Permitted

    • Members and visitors may only use approved signage provided by The Hickory Hub.

    • Additional or custom signage must be pre-approved by Hub management before placement.

    • Approved signs must be placed entirely on Hub property and at least 5 feet back from the public sidewalk/right-of-way, in designated zones only.

    • Signs may not obstruct walkways, parking areas, or visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

    ⚖️ City of Hickory Ordinance Reference

    The City of Hickory prohibits temporary signage in the public right-of-way. The right-of-way includes the street, curb, sidewalk, and the grassy strip between the curb and private property line. Signs placed in this area may be removed by City enforcement without warning.

    📌 Summary

    We value our community and want to ensure The Hickory Hub stays safe, attractive, and compliant. If you are hosting an event or meeting and need signage, please contact Hub management so we can provide the proper options.
