Votes on Billboard Issue At its October Board meeting, the Marion County Alliance of Neighborhood Associations voted unanimously to actively seek a ban on construction of new billboards in Marion County, and began considering an action plan to achieve that goal. After a lengthy and detailed review and discussion of the proposed revisions to the sign regulations of Marion County, the MCANA board voted to support the revisions as an interim measure to slow the construction of new billboards while MCANA spends the next year (approx.) assembling data proving the economic, social, and aesthetic soundness of a banning new billboards and building public awareness and involvement in seeking a ban. (President’s note: please watch future issues of Common Ground and MCANA’s website for how to help with this very important issue.) send comments to webmaster@mcanaindy.org |
