Stop the Concord NC Tower Over Communities
Move the 180 ft tower from being built on the Concord Fire Station 5 grounds, which is in the middle of highly populated communities. We, as members of the community, would like you to consider moving it at least 2,000 ft (or more!) away from highly populated residential communities. Possibly find a place where towers are more suited to like-structures, NOT residential neighborhoods and community pools, which are places where the tower would bring down property values and may cause health issues in the future.
Why is this important?
Our community pool is within 600 feet of the tower, which is at the beginning of our development and where everyone gets a first impression when visiting, but more importantly when looking to purchase a home in our community. My home is very close to the tower site, which means I will see it every day when I go out the front door. I am concerned about the waves the tower puts off which can have health implications for my family. Health of my family, eyesore every day for me and my community, and decreased home values are why I am staring this petition.
