Massachusetts Billboards At Risk Of Revocation
In Massachusetts more than 1000 outdoor advertising permits face nonrenewal for violations of regulations. The action, affecting about 5400 annual renewals, is tied to sign location, proximity to other boards, and zoning noncompliance. A historic district sign in Charlestown may also be revoked. A one year delay to a certification rule aims to curb grandfathering and requires local sign compliance and permits. Industry calls the rule harmful to the economy and jobs and may seek court challenges.
