A digital billboard at the corner of East Lincoln Highway and South Flowers Mill Road in Middletown Township has been dismantled. The billboard was installed in early 2021 by Premier First Media after the Middletown Township supervisors approved a 25-year lease agreement with the company for the small tract of municipal land. The owners of a nearby auto dealership challenged the Middletown Township Zoning Hearing Board’s initial approval of the sign. A Bucks County Court of Common Pleas judge ruling in 2022 allowed the billboard on the property. The county judge’s ruling was appealed to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, and in a late 2023 ruling Commonwealth Court found the billboard’s installation invalid in the right of way, essentially reversing the lower court’s order.
