Lehigh Valley Live reports that the Wilson Borough town council is considering approval of a billboard permit at Fisk Field in exchange for rent payments and a new football scoreboard. “It would be a win-win for the borough”, the town’s solicitor was quoted as saying. The town is a month away from issuing RFP’s.
Insider’s take: Win-win. The town’s businesses get advertising to promote their businesses. A billboard company gets a valuable investment. The city gets rent to fund operating services. The youth football association gets a new scoreboard. Expect to see more transactions like this.
