Tomorrow,
Brevard County Florida commissioners will hold a workshop to discuss the issues
surrounding the location of cell phone towers and other communication towers in
the county. Telecommunications consultant, CityScape Consultants Inc, plans to
make a presentation that focuses on a more systematic approach when it comes to
the location of the towers so they do not run into neighborhood opposition.
Dave
Berman of Florida Today reported
that, “County planner, Geroge Ritchie, said county
officials plan to discuss whether to begin more actively marketing county-owned properties as potential sites for cell
towers, as a way for the county to generate revenue from leasing the land.”
The County Commission already votes on applications for new
towers twice a year, rather than considering them throughout the year. This
workshop is open to the public and officials of local cell companies, cell
tower builders, and several county departments will more than likely be there
to give their input as well.
