120 Cell Towers/Access Points for Montgomery County Residential Neighborhoods. Coming Soon! Germantown/North Potomac/Potomac

Disclaimer:  This article does not directly relate to Montgomery County Public Schools, however, because the Parents' Coalition has tracked how cell towers go up on Board of Education land we believe that the homes impacted by this plan may be interested in knowing what is coming.  We doubt Montgomery County government has done anything to notify these residences.  

We do not know if any of these cell towers are going up in front of public schools.  The list of locations for these 120 access points has not been made public. 

On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, at 2 PM, the Montgomery County Tower Committee will approve the construction of 14 cell towers in North Potomac. 

These 14 cell towers are part of a 120 Cell Tower/Access Point deal with Montgomery County Government to put up cell towers in RESIDENTIAL neighborhoods in North Potomac, Potomac and Germantown.

These are neighborhoods with NO UTILITY POLES.
These communities will now get cell towers in front of homes.  How many neighbors to the planned 120 cell towers/access points have been notified of this massive project? Anyone with concerns about property values?

Please forward this information to NORTH POTOMAC, POTOMAC and GERMANTOWN residents and let them check the list of some of the addresses up for cell towers on March 2nd.

See Agenda Items 12 - 25 for the March 2nd Tower Committee meeting.  The Tower Committee does not have any citizen representation on the committee. 20 of these cell towers have already been approved by the Tower Committee.  14 cell towers will be approved on Wednesday.  86 more locations/access points will be approved in the months to come?

  2. Looks like the one in Germantown is for MLK Middle School, or right next to it.

  3. In LA they did this on all the streetlights. Lots of complaints. People got sick. You can watch the LA Council talk about it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWJcXBTi-7A

    1. Now they glow in the dark and there is no longer a need for streetlights!

    1. Don't ask Councilmember Craig Rice! Over on Facebook he is already saying the Council has nothing to do with zoning or the Board of Appeals (except that they do).
