Board clears 4th amendment to Mine Falls Park antenna lease amid public objections
Summary
On July 14 the Board of Aldermen approved R-26-043, a fourth amendment to the lease with New Singular Wireless PCS LLC for the Mine Falls Park antenna site. A resident criticized siting the antenna in a park while the city enforces a camping ban.
The Nashua Board of Aldermen on July 14 approved R-26-043, authorizing a fourth amendment to the site lease with New Singular Wireless PCS LLC for a cellular antenna at Mine Falls Park.
The measure proceeded through its second reading and was put to a voice vote, which carried. Alderman Clee made the motion for final passage; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
During public comment, a resident who identified himself only as Eric questioned placing a cellular antenna at Mine Falls Park while the city recently enacted a camping ban that limits where people can sleep. "Human life is a better value than cellular antennas," Eric said, asking the board to consider the moral priorities of siting infrastructure in public parks.
Board members asked whether the planning committee saw the same grid used in the meeting materials; the chair moved to adopt and the motion carried.
The transcript does not include technical terms of the amended lease (rent, term, or conditions) beyond the motion and its passage. The board did not provide further detailed discussion of emissions, alternate sites, or technical mitigations at the meeting.
