Braman Hill cell tower gets pushback

Residents made their opposition to a proposed telecommunications tower at Braman Hill known during a Leelanau Township public hearing last week.

“A tower that will not have guaranteed results, but is guaranteed to destroy our view, is not the answer,” said Northport resident Erica Hallstedt during public comment.

According to the proposal by the telecommunications tower company, The Towers, LLC (Vertical Bridge), the project would include a 195-foot monopole specifically located on property owned by the township at 9995 N. Morningside Drive in Northport.
