There will be a Cell Tower Meeting at the Board of Supervisors' Meeting on August 21st, 2024 at 9:30 in the Old Courthouse in Florence, AZ.
CONCERNS REGARDING THE PROPOSED 5G CELL TOWER--July, 2024
We are reaching out to you, our neighbor, because your voice and actions are crucial in the matter of the proposed construction of a 5G cell tower next to Bashas’ Shopping Center. As residents of this vibrant neighborhood, we must consider the potential impact of such a development. Cell towers historically have resulted in drastic decreases in residential property values, critical damage to a community's aesthetics, and an increase in the potentiality of crime. In addition, contemporary research is continually exposing the severe health issues (humans and animals) related to EMF radiation.
We recognize the need for improved connectivity and technology advancements. However, we believe there are alternative locations and/or mitigation measures that can minimize the impact on our community. If you want to learn more about our efforts as we prepare to address this matter before a future Pinal County Board of Supervisors meeting, please email us at gctower@yahoo.com. Since attendance at the supervisor meeting is essential to this process, when the date of the supervisor meeting is announced, you will be contacted and asked to support us in this effort by attending the supervisor meeting in Florence; the more, the better. This will be our final opportunity to prevent the tower's construction or suggest an alternate location; thus, your involvement is vital to success.
Our goal is to foster a neighborhood that balances progress with the recognition of our well-being and the distinctiveness of our community. The character and charm of Gold Canyon is our identity and the reason people are moving here, to a place we call home.
Thank you - 5G Tower Opposition Committee.
