The
city of Lynchburg, Virginia began finalizing franchise agreements to market
properties owned by the city into potential telecommunication tower sites. The
first tower that was proposed to be built near Perrymont Elementary School is
going through the approval process. If built, this tower would serve customers
for AT&T to begin with and equipment for other providers could be added
later on. This 135-foot tower is planned to be disguised as a tree to increase
the aesthetic appeal.
However,
July 31st, the City Manager, Kimball Payne, announced the franchise
agreement would not be submitted to the City Council on August 13th
as planned. Payne believes they need more time to review the contract revisions
that were submitted earlier in the week by Milestone Communications, the
potential builder of the towers.
Milestone Communications is the leading developer of wireless
towers in partnership with school and government landowners, enabling them to
direct millions of dollars annually to educational and extracurricular
budgets. (Source:Milestone Communications)
