Council tables three-billboard proposal after multiple residents speak against signs
Summary
A proposal from Summit Locations to install three billboards in Calvert was tabled after several public commenters voiced opposition; the council voted unanimously to table the item.
Calvert City Council considered a proposal from Summit Locations to install three billboards at 103 N. Main St., 1005 S. Main St., and 105 W. Gregg St. Residents who spoke during the public-comment period expressed opposition to new billboards in the city, citing aesthetics and community character concerns.
Speakers in opposition included Louise Grigsby, who stated she was "Against Billboards," and other residents listed in the public-comment record: Jennifer Star, Gary Trott, Joan Anderson and Brenda Van De Walle. After the public comments and staff presentation, Councilmember Jan Walston moved to table the proposal; Bobbie Jean Alford seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The tabled item also noted that one listed location, 103 N. Main St., is associated with Calvert Auto (John Florida III), and two locations are city owned. The tabling leaves open the option for the council to revisit the proposal after further review or community engagement.
