Public meeting on cell tower proposal to be held Wednesday in East Lyme
East Lyme — A public information session on a proposed cell tower by AT&T will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at East Lyme Middle School, according to an AT&T spokeswoman.
AT&T filed technical reports with the town last month for two potential locations for a permanent cell tower tower: a 175-foot tall monopole tower on Ancient Highway site or a 194-foot tall monopole tower at a residential site at 351A Boston Post Road.
The cell tower would be for both AT&T and T-Mobile service.
AT&T is seeking a replacement for an existing cell tower off Scott Road near The Orchards development. The town had previously negotiated to extend the lease for that site until the end of 2016.
AT&T had said in a June letter to the town that it doesn't expect to file a formal application for a permanent tower with the state Siting Council until at least September.
