The county is using state funds to buy property related to Humboldt Bay Trail development with a built-in source of revenue – three billboards.
But supervisors aren’t expecting them to last much longer, as a fourth billboard was blown over last year and removed earlier this year.
The Board of Supervisors approved the $603,000 purchase of a shoreline property consisting of two parcels at its Oct. 6 meeting. The parcels are located between the Brainard mill site and the Bracut Industrial Park.
