Tagged: Cell Tower Plan

A Vermont sheriff is lobbying the public in the town of Newfane to support construction of a new cell tower.

Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark says the 150-foot cell tower would also host his department's emergency radio equipment.

AT&T says it will consider alternate locations for a new cell tower in the southern Vermont community of Newfane, but the alternative must meet a set of criteria before it could be agreed to.

The move comes after some Newfane residents expressed concern over plans for a 130-foot tower on Oak Hill Road.

Officials say the tower would dramatically improve the town's spotty cell coverage and also could host equipment from two other cell carriers.
