Permit Approved For 245-Foot Cell Tower

The Nasewaupee Town Board agreed Feb. 15 to approve a permit for Vertical Bridge based in Rosemont, Illinois, to construct a 245-tower on property leased at Dawn’s Lawn Care along County S, where Cellcom will use the site to improve cell phone service south of Sturgeon Bay.

The self-supporting tower will be lit with beacons that shine upward, with a white strobe during the day that will switch over to a red strobe at night.

Town chairman Steve Sullivan said the tower meets the criteria for the town’s ordinance for a tower or antenna permit, which has a $100 fee.

“We don’t have a lot of restrictions on these, and the state has eliminated a lot of (the restrictions),” he said.
