Recently, there has been interest expressed by Bug Tussel in building a wireless tower in our area. Many residents may be (or may have already been) contacted regarding placement of the tower on their land.In accordance with State Statute, the Town of Vermont does not have much authority relating to the placement of mobile towers.

The goal is to promote collaboration between the company and the town so that the town may be able to provide guidance in terms of placement.
