Tower removal: a priority

Commissioners are looking to expedite the removal of a cell tower on the county campus.

Emergency Management Director Matt Ansorge presented his proposed budget for 2026 and longterm plans for his department at Tuesday’s budget workshop session.

Dismantling the cell tower south of the law enforcement center, an $80,000 project, was in the county’s Capital Improvement Plan for 2029. However, commissioners suggested they want to get work done sooner than later.
