Atlantic City to Give Nonprofits Free Ad Space on Unused Billboards, Checking Off One Item on Eyesore List

ATLANTIC CITY - Mayor Lorenzo Langford wants to put a face on some of the city's blank advertising billboards, and he is appealing to local nonprofit organizations to get it done.

Langford announced a new program Thursday to cover some of the city's bare billboards with messages from community groups to reduce the number of eyesores in the resort.

The initiative was developed by the mayor's Strategic Planning Committee, which consists of city business leaders and government officials working to improve Atlantic City and its image.
