Tommy Dobczyk breaks down Oklahoma billboard permits, which cost $5,000 to $10,000 each and depend heavily on connections. He explores whether EV charging stations could work alongside billboards on the same property.
Are you pitching deals in the deal room? Ready for this? Billboards are a pain in the butt to get permits on. They're so— it's such a good old boys network unless you have one. So it's worth it. Or $5,000, $10,000 per sign. Yeah, it's crazy.
I wonder how many, how many you can have. Does it depend on how much linear?
Let's find out. Let's find out, Trey. Go ahead and put it right in there. How many per the highway frontage? How many billboards could— based on highway frontage, how many billboards can we have on this property? And what are the rules to the Oklahoma DOT as far as electronic billboards? I mean, you could even put like a charging station out there and have one of these charging, you know, one of these EV charging. But they're kind of like carports. They're not a gas station because there's no gas, right? And they don't like gas drivers, so literally the only people there are all the EV drivers. Small Blade Flex. Yep, that sounds about right.
