KILLINGTON — A proposed cell tower that is
drawing negative reactions from the public will be on the agenda for
tonight’s Select Board meeting.
On Nov. 5, an attorney representing AT&T Wireless appeared before the Select Board, seeking support for a proposed 140-foot-tall tower on a 2-acre parcel just off Brad Mead Drive.
The proposal has drawn criticism in the form of emails sent to the town.
“AT&T has totally ignored residents of North Killington, not only with cell service, but also with the lack of concern about degraded Honeywell Alarm Net (Fire, Emergency, Burglary, etc.) service from their towers,” wrote Marty Post, who identified himself as a resident of North Killington.
Sandra Deitch, who identified herself as the owner of homes on both Brad Mead Drive and Round Robin Road, said the tower’s immediate proximity to residents would constitute a health risk, as well as a threat to the pristine view from Deer Leap Mountain.
Tonight’s Select Board meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at the Town Offices on River Road.
