Seymour wins billboard case

The city of Seymour has won a lawsuit over billboards in a downtown park.

“The Seymour Tribune” is reporting that the Lousiana-based company which owns the four billboards in Crossroads Community Park has until June 30th to take them down.

The billboards were on a lease with previous property owner that renewed every five years.

When the three-acre site was sold to GM Development in 2017 for $3.5 million to develop the park for the city, Mayor Craig Luedeman signed a letter asking the company to cancel the lease and remove the billboards.

The company refused and had the case moved to federal court.

Luedeman told the paper that the company is scheduled to start work on June 23rd.
