- Comment: Development Services is hosting a series of public meetings for feedback on the Digital Billboard Pilot. Admittedly, Development Services does not have a good reputation for listening to citizen inputs, but it is important that citizens voice issues. Otherwise the industry will cite the lack of feedback as positive accepatance.
