Cell Phone Tower in Firehouse’s Future?

I received a 1st public notice letter from the Adirondack Park Agency today which stated:

The Adirondack Park Agency received an application on December 28, 2009 from AT&T Mobility Corporation for a project proposed in the Town of Dresden, Washington County, on or near County Route 6 …. The tax map number of the property site is: Section 26.8 Block 3 Parcel 18 (The firehouse).

The project is briefly described as follows: installation of a 100 foot stealth monopole with three flush mounted antenna centered at 84 feet in height with room for two additional carriers to be located below. The monopole will be installed behind the new firehouse with equipment to be located inside the firehouse.

This is a very positive development which is a win-win-win for everyone. It’s a great development for anyone who wants to use a cell phone in Huletts, it’s added revenue for the Huletts Volunteer Fire Company, and it’s a huge safety precaution in the event of an emergency. I imagine it would also give cell phone service to a good number of boaters on Lake George. In addition, the pole will be almost completely invisible.

Unfortunately, the Adirondack Park Agency is great at preventing ideas that assist people in living their lives and helping communities thrive. This is a no-brainer, so from this moment on, I will start counting the days from when this application was received until the project is approved. I’ll keep everyone updated.

I was just learned that there is a story about the Huletts Landing cell tower in the January issue of the Lake George Mirror.
