Correction

Although the previous paperwork we had received from the city says "The City of Hillsboro Planning Department recommends that meetings be held 20-30 days after notices are mailed."  As of September 3, 2014, the code says "requires that neighborhood meetings shall have notices mailed to surrounding neighbors between 7 and 30 days prior to the neighborhood meeting."

 

Meeting Announced

In today's mail, we received a notice from Lexcom announcing a review meeting for the cell tower.  The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 8th at 7pm at Valley Hope Church 2233 E Main St. in Hillsboro.

Schools and Towers Shouldn't Mix

Citizens in Maryland are speaking out against cell towers on school property.

Process Update

By email, Sharon, the lady who ran the preliminary meeting, confirmed that they are still moving forward with this tower.  They do plan to make changes though and will need to hold a new preliminary meeting. 

More Info on a Different Tower Stopped

I'm sorry for the delay in answering your question regarding the details of the stopped tower.  It was an Orenco neighborhood here in Hillsboro.  They were in the process of fighting it when we had our meeting in April and I found out that they were successful at stopping it in July.

A Different Tower Stopped

It was very encouraging to hear about a Hillsboro neighborhood that successfully stopped a proposed cell tower.  Earlier this year, roughly 75 to 100 people attended a preliminary meeting regarding an AT&T tower proposed for their neighborhood.  Due to the fact that so many took time to attend the meeting and share their concerns, the property owner chose to be a good neighbor and not go forward with the tower.  Your voice can make a difference.  Please continue to share your concerns about the tower proposed in our neighborhood!
