The skinny: The Board of Supervisors approved special-use permits to allow for two Verizon Wireless towers, one on Carter Mountain, and the other off I-64 and Dick Woods Road near Ivy. The county Planning Commission looked at a third tower, destined for 29N, at their February 12 meeting.
Next step: Build the durn things. The third one still needs the Board of Supervisors’ approval.
How it fits into the larger picture: Cell phone reception won’t suck as much for Verizon customers. We all get one more tower to look at on Carter Mountain.
