The 30-second brief
193 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Central's meetings, most in capital projects and legal & compliance. The latest, from Oct 22: The Zoning Commission agenda scheduled a conditional use permit for a new wireless communication tower and facility at 15862 Frenchtown Road. The filing says the new tower would replace the existing tower and facility and requests waivers to maximum height and minimum setbacks. The applicant is LLC Telecom Services on behalf of Vertical Bridge LandCo, LLC, so the item is still pending the commission vote. If the permit moves ahead, the next conversation is about tower design, site work, and construction timing.
