Sign Moratorium

I have had mostly positive comments about the the sign moratorium that has been imposed in Craven County. A few business owners have expressed concern that it might hurt them but after they read it thay realized that it would not affect on site signs in a negative way.

Sign Moratorium

The highway corridor between New Bern and Havelock has over 90 billboards. Many residents feel that the sheer number of billboards detracts from the area and could hurt property values. Last night the County Commissioners imposed a 6 month moratorium on new billboards that will allow them time to write a sign ordinance to regulate road side signs.
