After taking seven months to get a cell tower approved last year people were beginning to wonder when Cingular Wireless was going to build it this summer. Construction began a few weeks ago when the company built a service road to the site and began laying the foundation for the tower and a small building that will house equipment needed to operate it. The tower is being built on land owned by Mary Searles, who has extended the company a 25 year lease.
Concrete footings for the three legged tower are now in place, and a slab for the building, as well as grounding rods and electrical service. The tower and building will be brought to the site and erected in about two weeks.
