Swaney proposes new billboard

Marshall County businessman Randall Swaney has proposed erection of a new digital billboard on I-22 that would carry ads from the City of Holly Springs on the eastbound side and from the Town of Byhalia on the westbound side.

Swaney recently pitched his proposal to the mayor and board of aldermen. He would locate the board west of the West Holly Springs exit so it could be seen as motorists travel under the Bicycle Road overpass on I-22.

Swaney said the billboard would be placed in a curve of the highway so motorists would see the billboard quite a distance from when they actually passed it. The billboard would appear at a distance as if it were in the middle of the road.
