BoA refuses billboard reconsideration
Tuesday, December 19, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
A second attempt at bringing digital billboards to Austin via the Board of Adjustment fell unceremoniously flat at the Dec. 11 meeting of the board. This time around, Reagan National Advertising was asking for a reconsideration of the board’s November decision. “I do not find anything compelling or that anything has changed on the parameters of the sign, location, the description, the content. … So I would make a motion to deny,” said Board Member Bryan King. Board members voted unanimously to deny the reconsideration, giving Reagan no opportunity to talk, but a new chance to take the matter to court.
