Oconee leaders turn attention to billboards

To what extent may Oconee County prevent billboard advertising? It’s a subject to be discussed next week during a County Council executive session meeting, at the end of council’s regular first Tuesday meeting. The executive session agenda calls for: “Receive legal advice related to a moratorium, or prohibition, on future billboard construction.” It also specifies that, after the executive session, council “Discuss and act on any appropriate motions related to the issue of a moratorium or prohibition on future billboard construction.”
