CELL TOWER UPDATE – American Towers is planning a cell tower on Hyco on Wagstaff Road.  They will fly a test balloon on Saturday, Nov 7 from 10:00AM until 2:00PM at the site.  This is to give interested parties a chance to view the proposed tower height.  They plan to apply for a site permit with the County shortly thereafter.  Assuming everything goes as planned, the cell tower could be in operation by March 2010.  Let your County Commissioners and Planning and Zoning Board know how badly we need this tower!  If you need more justification to help us communicate our need, see this link: http://www.hycolake.com/TeleInfo.htm which is also located on the lower left part of our homepage.  American is also planning two other towers which include the Mayo Lake area and 501 North.
