Board extends Homeland Towers lease option for Bedford Lakes cell site
Summary
The board approved a first amendment to the option and ground lease with Homeland Towers extending option periods for a planned wireless facility at Bedford Lakes, charging $1,000 per year while the site remains unused and preserving a termination right if construction is not begun by April 2028.
The Town of Bedford board on May 20 approved a first amendment to the option and ground lease with Homeland Towers for a wireless facility at Bedford Lakes. The amendment grants additional option periods and requires Homeland to pay $1,000 per year while the site remains inactive; if construction has not begun by April 2028 the town retains the right to terminate the lease.
The Chair summarized the site's planning history, noting multiple locations were considered and that public input and planning-board review shaped the selected Bedford Lakes site. He said carriers have been reluctant to commit to the site and the amendment gives Homeland more time to secure providers and investors. The board approved the amendment by motion with no recorded dissent.
Town officials said the site remains part of the town’s wireless plan and will be available for installation if and when carriers commit to the location.
