City acquires billboard rights at roundabout site; Jackson Street hotel talks ongoing
Summary
Staff said the city acquired the property and billboard rights at the roundabout site and that the billboard owner will relocate new electronic signs near the Dollar General; conversations on the Jackson Street parking‑lot hotel continue but staff reported nothing concrete to share.
City staff said the county commission approved agreements for the city to acquire billboard rights at the location where a roundabout will be built, and that the underlying parcel had been acquired at a prior commission meeting.
Staff said the billboard owner will relocate and install new electronic billboards at another location near the Dollar General west of the roundabout site. Commissioners asked whether the relocated signs would be nearby; staff answered that the replacement location is “by the Dollar General, which is far west of there.”
On the Jackson Street parking‑lot hotel, staff said conversations with the development team are ongoing but that there was “nothing concrete to share” at this meeting. Commissioners also noted that some construction equipment had been moved from the Jackson Street lot and asked whether the fenced area would remain over the winter; staff said they would check the agreements with the city manager and report back.
No formal easements, sale prices or detailed relocation permits were provided in the discussion recorded at this meeting.
