Ok here's my code:

turf
Sign1
icon = 'House.dmi'
icon_state = "Sign1"
density = 1
verb
Read()
usr << "Welcome to Meko Village"

And I'm getting two errors:

Read:Duplicate Definition(conflicts with built-in proc)
<<:invalid proc definition

What the heck is up with that??

Read() is a built-in proc, IE BYOND already uses it, and the usr << whatever bit isn't indented properly. And that code isn't in DM tags.
Try this...
turf
        Sign1
                icon = 'House.dmi'
                icon_state = "Sign1"
                density = 1
        verb
                Look()
                    set src in view(1)
                    set name = "Read"
                    usr << "Welcome to Meko Village"
That should do it.

Your indentation is messed up, that's what happened. Look at the lines where you get the errors, and make sure they're indented properly. If you haven't already, press Ctrl-T to turn on display of tabs so you can tell the difference between tabs and spaces.

Got some indentation errors here. It should be:
turf
         Sign1
                 icon = 'House.dmi'
                 icon_state = "Sign1"
                 density = 1
                 verb
                      Look()
                          set src in view(1)
                          set name = "Read"
                          usr << "Welcome to Meko Village"
