Rapid City Ban Regarding Digital Billboards Overturned

Posted on Feb 28, 2014

A federal judge has overturned a citizen-driven initiative that banned new digital billboards in Rapid City.

The ordinance that passed as a ballot measure in June 2011 prohibited companies from erecting digital billboards off their premises. Lamar Advertising then sued the city.

U.S. District Court Chief Judge Jeffrey Viken has ruled that the ordinance conflicts with state law.
