ALGONQUIN – The village is considering whether to ask the county for a moratorium on applications for billboards, especially for electronic signs.

The county is working on updating its Unified Development Ordinance that would, among other things, provide limitations to off-premises signs including billboards, both plain and electronic.

The county recently received two more applications for electronic billboards, one on Algonquin Road near Dennis Avenue and one on Route 31 near Oakwood and Linden avenues, Community Development Director Russell Farnum wrote in a village memo.
