In 1982, the City of Kingman and Kingman Chamber of Commerce entered into three leasing agreements under which the Chamber managed the City's three billboards. One of the three billboards was located on Hwy 93 and was removed in 2024 to make way for the I-11/I-40 Traffic Interchange. The other two billboards are located along I-40. The City's agreements with the Chamber have renewed automatically every year, however either party has the option to terminate the agreement with a 30-day notification.
