Tower project inches forward

Commissioners are moving forward with plans to construct a new communications tower at the landfill, hoping to solve the issue of "dead spots" where radio service with first responders is difficult. Finding $1 million to fund the project, along with the COVID-19 pandemic, has delayed the project for the past four years.

A long-awaited communications tower to improve law enforcement’s ability to talk to each other is getting closer to reality.

Allen County commissioners are moving ahead with plans to build a tower. If everything works in their favor, it could be ready as soon as the fall. 

On Tuesday, they discussed funding options and heard a presentation from a tower-building company that submitted one of two bids for the project.
