Summary
The board unanimously approved Resolution 2026‑4053 to buy the Saxon Communication Tower and roughly 6.4 acres from Northway Communications for $30,000, funded from the Capital Projects Fund to maintain local emergency communications infrastructure.
Iron County’s board voted unanimously to purchase the Saxon Communication Tower and surrounding property for $30,000 to secure communications infrastructure used by local public safety agencies. The tower parcel, at fire number 9797W Upper Road in Saxon, WI, includes approximately 6.4 acres and was offered for sale by Northway Communications, Inc. The resolution authorizes the County Manager and County Treasurer to complete the purchase and directs procurement to comply with applicable state and local purchasing regulations.
Supervisor Hiller moved to approve Resolution 2026‑4053; Supervisor Erickson seconded the motion and the board voted all yes. The Finance Committee had previously recommended the purchase and identified the Capital Projects Fund as the funding source. The board’s action is intended to preserve county control of a key communications asset that supports law enforcement, fire protection and other emergency services. The County will process the acquisition through standard closing procedures and applicable procurement rules.
