Concord Township Council on May 13 approved an amended 40-year lease with American Towers LLC for a portion of township-owned property at 725 Smithbridge Road where a cellular tower is installed, accepting a one-time payment of $25,000.
The lease resolution (No. 27 of 2025) authorizes Township Manager Amanda Siroc to execute the amended lease; the resolution states the parcel contains approximately 3,600 square feet and noted the current lease term was set to expire April 29, 2034.
