Contested radio tower application remains pending as locals press opposition
Summary
Commissioners said ITW has not filed a formal application for the relocated radio/telecom tower; the Rutland Regional Commission will send a letter supporting Tinmouth’s position and many local commenters oppose the project.
Commission members reported that a proposed radio/telecom tower project remains unresolved because the applicant (identified in the meeting as ITW) has not yet submitted a formal application following a relocation of the proposed site. A commissioner summarized the status: "We are we are waiting to see if ITW is actually gonna file their application or not. The people have been making comments, you know, opposing it, and the regional commission is now gonna send another letter saying they support Tim's decision."
Members noted many public comments opposing the tower and discussed uncertainty about regulatory timelines, including whether the 180-day review trigger began with the original filing in February or with a refile in May when the location changed. Commissioners described community concern about visual impacts and said regional officials had urged clearer photographic examples from the applicant to show what the final facility would look like.
No formal action was recorded; the commission said they will await a filed application and continue to accept public comments in the meantime.
