When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Painted scrims usually go up days after the plain scrim. I would think they’re still coming.

Plain scrim goes up first. Printed scrim goes on after.

Do they paint new scrims every time they put them up? (Assuming so, hence the delay)
If so, I wonder why they do not just put the painted ones up from the onset since I'm sure they know when the refurb is scheduled to take place.
They should rename it "City Bag."Main Street U.S.A. City Hall refurbishment February 2020

I've been wondering this as well. It wouldn't make sense to keep them for any other part of the park besides Main Street.

while it would probably be cost effective to keep the printed scrims around, they would probably take up way Too much space to save them for all of Main Street so I’d assume it’s a new one every time

I would hope that these are PRINTED scrims and not painted ones (when they have images on them)...it's far, far less expensive to scan a small piece of art and print...

I’m sure they are. After digging into this and thinking more on it, I’d bet these are done uniquely each time they renovate a building with updated artwork representing it.
It looks like the scrims have a lifespan of around 9 months, so they almost certainly are not reused.
Disney would save a lot of money if they just used a pre-dyed Go-Away Green scrim instead of photo realistic printed wrappings. It'd be an immersion killer... I'm actually shocked the bean counters haven't considered it. Or have they? SHUT UP MAGICART87. THEY'LL HEAR YOU!

With the scrims on it looks like a Cog building lol [but tan instead of gray]. It also looks like a soundstageMain Street U.S.A. City Hall refurbishment February 2020

Once you get into the high volume printing that Disney needs, the cost gets very low per square foot (or per item, depending on the kind of printing you're talking about). Fortunately, there's no real road traffic to worry about, so they're lucky in that respect, but they still get dirty from rain, wind blown dirt, and rubbing against outdoor surfaces, and it's very likely more cost effective to print new scrims as opposed to trying to clean, store, and re-use them.
