About the Project
In an ongoing effort to provide quality wireless service, AT&T has identified your community as one that will benefit from improved network coverage.
Milestone Towers is proposing a wireless telecommunications facility at Hamilton Safety Center, addressed 39071 East Colonial Highway, Hamilton, VA 20158.
The proposal is for a 160-foot monopole and will include ground equipment required to operate the facility.
This equipment will be located at the base of the structure in a secure fenced area. AT&T will be the first wireless carrier to locate on the proposed tower.
Update #5: The Milestone Tower project will go before the Planning Commission Tuesday, November 26, 2024. Project documents submitted to the County can be found here.
Update #4: Please click here to view the online Town Hall presentation held Thursday, December 21st.
