Digital billboards that can rotate several advertisements a minute could soon replace older static billboards in Hall County if the Board of Commissioners changes its sign ordinance. Fairway Outdoor Advertising, based in Greenville, S.C., made a presentation to commissioners at Monday’s work session. Company executives said they would take down two old billboards for every digital sign the county allowed them to put up, similar to what they did in Oconee County.
