Ban Billboards in Open Country Proposal Highlights Scenic Value
Samuel P. Senior, president of the Fairfield County Planning Association, urged zoning rules to ban billboards in open countryside after the Fairfield Zoning Board denied Bridgeport Poster Advertising's bid to reconstruct. He cited New England scenery as worth preserving and supported keeping billboards off highways and parkways, noting regulations should cover all roadside exposures. He refused to discuss the board action in detail, saying he was not fully familiar with both sides of the case.
