Commissioners approve 20-year lease for 140-foot radio tower to improve county public safety coverage
Summary
Mercer County approved a 20-year land lease for a 140-foot tower site on McComb Road as part of the county public safety radio project; commissioners said the site fills eastern coverage gaps and is one of seven planned remote sites.
The Board approved Resolution 2026-290 to enter a 20-year land lease and easement with Jeffery McClearn for a 0.095-acre site on McComb Road to construct and operate a 140-foot self-supporting communications tower for the county public safety radio project.
Commissioner Finley said the McComb Road site is one of seven remote tower locations intended to fill coverage gaps caused by terrain, and that the tower will complement an existing site in Millcreek Township. The lease allows access and utility easements; the term is 20 years. The board approved the lease unanimously. The meeting record includes no tower construction schedule or contractor name; commissioners noted the site’s role in improving coverage in the eastern part of Mercer County.
