Brookhaven's Electronic Billboard On The Way Down?

Brookhaven's flashing electronic billboard may be coming down.

According to The Reporter Newspapers, DeKalb CEO Burrell Ellis may meet next week with representatives of the billboard company to see if the sign can be relocated.

Last November, over the merits of Brookhaven cityhood, when members of DeKalb’s legislative delegation met with constituents in a town hall meeting.

“Here you have people living in an LCI, who want to have a say in what comes into their community, and DeKalb County just decides to allow that billboard to be installed,” (R-80, Atlanta) said. “I guarantee you the county gave no other thought to that billboard other than simply as a revenue generator.”

The billboard sits high above the intersection of Peachtree and North Druid Hills roads. The intersection is part of the Brookhaven-Peachtree Hills Livable Centers Initiative, which the county approved in 2007 to guide zoning and development in the area.
