Long-awaited Weymouth billboard lowering underway
Wicked Local
An electronic billboard near Route 3 that raised concerns about nighttime glare among Century Road residents is being lowered under a remediation agreement between the homeowners and Cove Outdoor Advertising.
Ultra Lum Services employees removed the digital sign at 611 Pleasant St. on July 22 to lower the billboard’s metal support pole by 20-feet, under the agreement and a special permit issued by the Board of Zoning Appeals last month.
“Everything is going as good as planned,” said Gregg Ziomek, owner of Ultra Lum Services, at the billboard site. “We will cut the column and lower that by 20 feet today.”

WEYMOUTH- Town Solicitor Joseph Callanan said legal precedents don’t allow Town Council to file a legal brief with federal regulators about safety and health concerns posed by a natural gas compressor station in the Fore River Basin. Collectively, the Town Council does not have the authority to sue, he said during a Council meeting, March 8. “If you do it as individuals, I have no problem with that.”
Councilor-at-large Rebecca Haugh said her colleagues could draft a letter that details their concerns about the compressor station and give it to residents or community groups who seek an intervenor status with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
