Proposed digital billboard at Arlington Gateway

A 2,180-square-foot electronic message center would be the first billboard-style sign in Upper Arlington's history, placed on the city's largest building at the Lane Avenue gateway. The city's sign code has banned billboards since its founding, so approving this would set a significant precedent for other commercial corridors.
