CUMMING - Current and pending legal challenges to Forsyth County's billboard ordinance have prompted the county commission to impose a temporary moratorium on new billboards in the county. <br>
<br>
The county's Assistant Director for Planning and Development, Jeff Chance, says the moratorium was effective March 25. <br>
<br>
Chance says it won't expire until 60 days after the case is settled. <br>
<br>
Trinity Outdoor LLC filed the suit in August in federal court in Gainesville. <br>
<br>
The county has continued to receive billboard applications despite the litigation. <br>
