More on the Cell Tower

The Express-Times has an article on the proposed Cell phone tower at Andrew S. Leh Stadium (read it here).

As previously noted on this site (read the post here) it didn't seem this proposal had been discussed at any NASD Board meetings and in the article today, it cites NASD administrator Judy Swigart as stating, "the proposed tower is just an idea at this point."

The article makes two other interesting comments, the first that the rent paid by T-Mobile will be $833 per month and the second that the township building will be the second site under consideration if the stadium cannot get the variance.

It is a kind of interesting scenario in that the NASD has an opportunity to earn some revenue that doesn't come directly from taxpayers and from the accounts I've read so far doesn't seem to be very interested in it and conversely if the township does not provide the zoning variance, the township could earn that same money instead of the NASD. It will be interesting to see what happens.
