Oconee County Code Enforcement Removed Boswell Signs--Again--And County Signs As Well

The Boswell signs were advertisements for property on the southwest corner of the busy SR 316 and Oconee Connector intersection.

Oconee County Code Enforcement once again has taken down signs owned by Boswell Properties that violated the county sign ordinance and were in the intersection of SR 316 and the Oconee Connector.

It also took down signs owned by the county’s Industrial Development Authority that also were in the state right of way and violated the county’s sign ordinance.

The Boswell signs were advertisements for property on the southwest corner of the busy SR 316 and Oconee Connector intersection. Boswell Properties is owned by Jamie Boswell, area representative to the state Transportation Board.

The county’s signs were promoting the Gateway Technology Business Park, located on SR 316 on the southwest edge of Bogart near the Oconee County and Barrow County line.
