By mid-March, two dinosaurs in the parking lot of a Duluth shopping center will have new homes.
The large dinosaurs and other outdoor decorations have been sold in advance of a Tuesday vote by Gwinnett County commissioners that required they be removed from the Paragon at Satellite shopping center, attorney Marian Adeimy said.
A replica Eiffel Tower on the property will stay.
The shopping center’s owner was cited for having the decorations without permission. Adeimy said they had been on the property for about six months, but the weather had caused them to deteriorate.
Gwinnett County’s planning department said the dinosaurs and other “displays of bright colors” could be considered “visual blight” that would negatively affect neighboring properties.
