Controversial Cell Tower Project Pulled For Now in Branford

Residents had rallied to oppose the tower, which they said would have destroyed property values.

The tower was proposed by AT&T and Tower Co. and a company representative said the tower was needed to improve cell service in the area, which local residents said was nonsense.
