What factors led you to sell the Atlanta signs?

We had several  out of home companies ask about “availability” to purchase our  North Atlanta inventory at the beginning of June and the conversation with Outfront continued and progressed to where it was a true  win-win transaction for both sides.

Where would you like to focus your growth?
We kept our double sided 30 x 50 digital spectaculars located in downtown Atlanta and we still have 8 digital and 9 static faces  located in Greenville / Spartanburg SC.  Over the years we have  owned  digital & static assets in Tennessee , Georgia , South Carolina and Alabama so we are very bullish on the Southeast and we are  currently evaluating several acquisition  growth opportunities in these states.
