Oconee County Getting A Brand New 8-Foot-By-12-Foot, Two-Sided LED Sign–On Mars Hill Road

A crew began work yesterday (Friday) on the large sign Oconee County permitted for just south of the intersection of Mars Hill Road and Daniells Bridge Road, and by the end of the day today (Saturday) the pole base was installed and sign materials were above the base suspended from a crane.

When completed, the top of the 8-foot-by-12-foot LED sign will be 35 feet about ground level.

The two-sided sign will sit on a single pole that will be just at the edge of a sediment pond on the triangular piece of undeveloped property across Daniells Bridge Road from QuikTrip.

The Oconee County Code Enforcement Office issued the sign permit on March 4, and the Oconee County Board of Commissioners, after months of discussion, passed an overlay district for Mars Hill Road on April 4 prohibiting the type of sign being installed.

The permit issued on March 4 would have expired had construction not begun by Sept. 4.

For more on the story, including an update on Mars Hill Road construction progress, go to Oconee County Observations.
