Just a few months after Wapiti residents showed up en masse to oppose a nearly 200 foot cell tower in the middle of the valley, a more than 300 foot tower was approved without objection on a tract of rangeland near Clark during the Park County Commissioners’ June 20 meeting.
The Special Use Permit for the tower was approved, meaning Bridger Tower Corp will be able to move forward with the project. Assistant Planning and Zoning Director Kim Dillivan said Verizon has already expressed interest in being on the tower. There are spots for three other carriers as well.
The land is just south of the intersection of Wyo. Highway 296 and Wyo. Highway 120N and surrounded mostly by ag land and vacant residential, Dillivan said.
A 199 foot tower was previously approved by SUP in the same spot in 2018, he noted, but the work was never done and the SUP was voided, necessitating a new application.
