1Opinion of the CourtJustice Nash
In these consolidated cases defendant, Village of Downers Grove, seeks reversal of declaratory judgments entered in favor of plaintiffs, National Advertising Company and Outdoor Advertising Associates, which found that the State statute regulating outdoor commercial advertising signs preempts the more restrictive regulation of such signs by a municipality.
At issue in these cases is the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 121, par. 501 et seq.) and article IX of the zoning ordinance of the Village of Downers Grove, a home rule unit.
