Question
I am the gabbai of a synagogue, and I ordered a design for a large sign for the synagogue's sukkah from a graphic designer, and I paid a considerable amount for it. However, it was ready at the last minute, and no printing house could print it before the holiday. Now I found someone who can print it for me. We have a Simchat Beit Hashoeva event in our community, which many people attend, and it is important for me to have the sign ready by then. The question is whether it is permissible to print it during Chol Hamoed. It should be noted that the money paid to the designer is from the synagogue's funds.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permissible to perform communal needs during Chol Hamoed.
