BREAKING NEWS: AT&T Backs Out of Cell Tower CT Siting Council Process in Bethel, Writes Letter to CS

Late Monday night, June 29, 2015, the “Stop the Codfish Cell Tower” group announced news about the proposed Bethel cell tower on Codfish Hill Road, and that is, AT&T withdrew from the process.

In a letter to Chairman Stein and members of the CT Siting Council (CSC), from *Daniel M. Laub, an attorney representing AT&T, he informed the CSC of the decision to withdraw from the siting process.

The letter says,

“We are writing to you in connection with the Application filed with Florida Tower Partners LLC d/b/a North Atlantic Towers. AT&T intervened in support of Docket 458. AT&T is withdrawing its intervention without prejudice at this time. AT&T continues to have a need for a new infrastructure to provide reliable service in eastern Bethel and the adjacent area of Newtown. It is anticipated that AT&T would use the proposed facility, if approved, in the future. AT&T regrets any inconvenience and thanks the Siting Council and Staff, community and others for their time and consideration of its interest in this matter.”
