Re: (‘DDA board hears presentation on possible downtown billboard,’ Sept. 22, 2021, Lake Orion Review, page 3.)

If the proposed billboard is to be anywhere near the same scale as the message center billboard across from the Salvation Army in Oxford who would even consider it?

It would block the visual entrance to the business district, it would light the night sky all night, act as a garish welcome to a truly charming town, and otherwise stick out.

Its inconceivable that because there is an offer of free advertisement that this is even a consideration.

Put it down M-24 south of town where even Home Depot wasn’t allowed to put a sign on their building.
