Commission approves first step in billboard swap with Clear Channel to begin removals

The commission authorized staff to pursue a property-swap deal with Clear Channel as part of a broader effort to remove several billboards in Winter Park. The agreement is a first step; staff reported the Clear Channel swap will allow three existing billboards to be removed and that the city will continue negotiations with other owners such as Lamar and Outfront. Final agreements and property documentation will return to the commission for approval at a later meeting.
