Urbana reconsidering last year's ordinance on billboards

URBANA – A lawsuit filed against the city of Urbana by Adams Outdoor Advertising is prompting city officials to propose revising an ordinance that is barely a year old.

Adams owns all 32 billboard structures, with 64 billboard faces, in the city of Urbana. The company filed suit in Champaign County Circuit Court this past November, asking for relief from the city's new billboard ordinance, which was approved by the city council in June 2006.
