After a vote was tabled twice, the Dawson County Board of Commissioners reluctantly approved a special-use permit for a Verizon Wireless cell tower near Ga. 52 and Wesley Chapel Road in northeastern Dawson County.
The vote was 3-1, with District 3 Commissioner Tim Satterfield voting ‘no’ and Chairman Billy Thurmond abstaining since there was a majority.
Multiple neighbors to the site voiced their concerns during public hearings at the Nov. 16 Planning Commission and Dec. 16 BOC meetings.
