Supervisors approve Verizon equipment permit for Highway 61 South tower
Summary
The board approved a county permit for Verizon to add and replace antennas and related equipment on an existing American Tower site at 733 Highway 61 South after county staff confirmed permit requirements were met.
The Adams County Board of Supervisors approved a county permit request from Verizon to place additional equipment on an existing American Tower site at 733 Highway 61 South.
County permitting staff told the board the applicant met the county’s application requirements and had paid associated fees. The permit would allow Verizon to remove three antennas and three remote radio units, replace nine antennas and nine remote radio units, add two hybrid cables and associated equipment, and remove two coaxial phases.
Supervisor Middleton moved to approve the permit and Supervisor Gaines seconded the motion; the board approved the permit by voice vote.
Why it matters: The application is for equipment on an existing tower and was presented as a technical upgrade to improve wireless service along the Highway 61 corridor in southern Adams County. County staff noted required documentation was in order and fees had been paid.
What’s next: County staff will issue the permit and monitor compliance with permit conditions. The board did not approve any county-funded incentives or zoning changes; the action was a permit approval only.
