Summary
At the April 22 Seven Towns meeting in Riverview, TEDCOR Executive Director Jayme Sellen briefed officials on ATV-trail coordination and described obstacles to broadband deployment, including planning for a proposed tower in Mountain.
Jayme Sellen, executive director of TEDCOR, told representatives from the seven towns at the April 22 meeting in Riverview that her organization is coordinating ATV-trail work while also working to advance broadband access in the county and address related infrastructure challenges. Sellen described planning conversations about a proposed communications tower in Mountain and summarized technical and permitting hurdles that affect deployment timelines.
The briefing emphasized that broadband projects in the area face a mix of logistical and regulatory challenges. Sellen recapped coordination on ATV trails and said TEDCOR is engaged with local officials and stakeholders to align trail planning with communications siting and right-of-way considerations. No formal decision or vote on a tower site was recorded at the meeting.
Local officials said they expect continued coordination between town boards, county staff and regional partners to resolve permitting, funding and siting questions. The group set no formal deadlines at the meeting; follow-up is expected at future Seven Towns gatherings or in town-specific planning sessions.
