Hi All,
The appeal by Verizon for the proposed cell tower in the Wolf Lodge area was voted down by Kootenai County Commissioners, Leslie Duncan and Bruce Mattare on June 13, 2024. (Bill Brooks was absent for the vote.) The commissioners explained that there was sufficient cell coverage even though there are dropped calls during peak usage time. Having a weak signal is still considered sufficient coverage. In addition, Commissioners confirmed that property in the vicinity of cell towers does in fact reduce the value of real estate.
