I can tell you first hand where I live that Verizon contacted the town government and said that the Methodist Church was willing to lease it for $30,000.00 a year to plug up the coverage in this town.
Now remember the people were for it, the church was for it and Verizon wireless was completely for it being a ten year lease. But the town board turned down the churches request. Siteing zoning laws and aesthetic reasons.
It was going to be in the steeple. So everyone suffers for short sighted people. A real shame.
On a part of 87 North in the Adirondack Park after years of discussions and years of no service finally they erected a much needed cell tower, it was made in the shape of a huge evergreen tree. You would not know it was a tower. Great job Verizon did. Everyone wins.
Years ago in an apartment I lived in, the fire station had a huge American Flag pole out in front. It was in fact a huge Verizon wireless tower. This tower supplied cell service to state government offices and thousands of residents where there was spotty or no service before.
So I personally wish they had more towers. They can put one in my back yard since I would benefit greatly.
Good Luck
