NORWAY – The Planning Board will hold a public hearing Thursday on an application by Global Tower Partners and Northeast Wireless Networks to locate a wireless communications tower on Frost Hill.
The hearing will begin at 7 p.m. in the town hall.
Earlier this month, the board unanimously voted to accept the application by Global Tower Partners of Boca Raton, Fla., and Northeast Wireless Networks of Falmouth as complete.
The company hopes to construct a 190-foot tower on a 10.75 acre parcel at 209 Frost Hill Road, owned by Roberta Wilner. If approved, this will be the first GTP communications towers on Frost Hill, according to company officials.
The unlit structure will have space for utilities and municipal services. Fire Chief Dennis Yates has received assurance that the company will allow space at the top for the Fire Department to place an emergency antenna and repeater.
Northeast Wireless Networks will be the first tenant to install telecommunications equipment and antenna arrays to provide service to AT&T network customers.
Following a review of the public comment and checking adherence to the town’s performance standards, the board is expected to make a decision on the application. If it’s approved, construction is expected to begin within 30 days and be completed within 45 days after.
