T-Mobile built cell tower; installation awaiting federal permits, borough says
Summary
Mayor Raymond said a T‑Mobile-built cell tower at Arbor Road and Mountain Avenue is erected and awaiting federal permits; council discussed small-cell alternatives and ownership of the tower by the borough.
Mayor Joshua H. Raymond told the council on May 26 that a cell tower had been constructed by T‑Mobile at Arbor Road and Mountain Avenue and that installation of active equipment is pending federal permits. He said the tower was built at no cost to the borough and indicated the borough would own the tower.
Council President Anthony Floria-Callori acknowledged delays in installation and said the council had considered alternatives such as small-cell solutions. During public comment, a resident asked whether Starlink could provide a sufficient alternative and whether T‑Mobile could sell the tower to another company. Council members stated the tower would be owned by the borough and that federal permitting governs the activation timeline.
Council members and residents asked for updates and noted possible interim solutions for coverage; no timeline for activation was provided at the meeting.
