Current Projects Illegal Billboard Still Standing; Scenic Virginia Stops Attempt By Billboard Industry to “Trade” Illegal Billboard for new LED Billboard In November 2004 Scenic Virginia helped defeat an attempt by Lamar Advertising to secure a Special Use Permit for a billboard along I-95 in Richmond that has been illegal since the day it was erected in 1977 and that has earned more than $1 million in revenue since that time. Since that time, we have continued to work with the City of Richmond to bring down the billboard. In late 2007, we learned that the billboard industry had offered to take down the illegal Mayo Island billboard in exchange for the right to convert an existing, nonconforming billboard to new, extremely distracting LED technology.
