Town of Homer Plans Special Meeting For Billboards

The Town of Homer will be holding a special meeting later this month regarding the town’s ongoing billboard regulation along the I81 corridor. The special meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 29th at 6:30pm at the Pat Hill Community Building at 53 South Main Street in Homer.

The meeting planned for Tuesday, July 29th, will include a presentation to the Homer Town Board on proposed legislation. The Town of Homer says public comment will be allowed during the meeting, following the presentation. Comments will be limited to one minute per speaker.

The last special meeting for the Town of Homer regarding billboards was held at the end of May where Councilmember Kevin Williams provided an update on his ongoing research prior to drafting a law for off-premises advertising. No presentation of the actual draft-law was presented during the last special Town Board meeting.

The Town of Homer has been reviewing and working on creating regulations for billboards for nearly three years. The upcoming special Town Board meeting is open for the public with parking available .

Correction: The location is at 53 South Main Street, the Community Building, not the Homer Town Hall.
