AT&T Hearing Held

A hearing was held on Jan. 30 at the Dept. of Regional Planning regarding the installation of an AT&T small cell 5G antenna in a residential area of Briggs Avenue. Nearly 20 people attended the hearing to protest the proposed installation; however, the commission stated that it would accept the staff’s analysis and allow the installation.

Residents are now weighing their options regarding this matter.
