Zoning Board members said this was a better use for the property than the vacant building on the site which will now be demolished.
The Hasbrouck Heights Zoning Board gave Dougan Outdoor Media the greenlight to construct a digital LED billboard on the northbound side of Route 17. This was the applicant's second attempt to get approval to construct the billboard at this site which borders a gas station and a car wash on the east side of the highway. The new plans call for the demolition of the existing vacant 2-story building which was found to be in poor condition.
