“My boss didn\u2019t believe me when I told him, ‘I\u2019m going to a place where there isn\u2019t any cell phone service’.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sadly, this is an actual remark that I heard this past summer and it illustrates an issue that must be addressed in Huletts. It impacts everyone and it\u2019s not only a health and safety issue but it\u2019s also an economic one.<\/p>\n

The Adirondack Park Agency has the power to approve new cell phone towers and has been criticized for moving slowly on this throughout the Park. <\/p>\n

There are a number of innovative new cell phone tower companies, such as this one<\/a>, who place numerous carriers\u2019 receivers on one pole and who have become expert in hiding these towers in the surrounding forest. They can actually be disguised as a tree or be hidden in the forest\u2019s canopy. Even something as simple as adding a new receiver to an existing emergency pole at a current firehouse, has to go through the APA\u2019s approval process.<\/p>\n

Imagine having a drowning or boating accident and reaching for your cell phone only to have no service? Imagine losing a renter or friend who can\u2019t get that important phone call? Isn\u2019t it a shame, that if you break down on certain areas of the mountain, you can\u2019t get any cell phone service at all? In this day and age, it\u2019s a complete travesty that cell phone service is unavailable in large parts of the Adirondacks. We lead the world in technology yet the Adirondack\u2019s are a technological backwater because the Adirondack Park Agency\u2019s can’t approve a cell phone tower quickly.<\/p>\n

No longer should the APA be able to hide behind the empty argument that these facilities damage lines of sight. The most innovative cell phone tower companies have already overcome this with truly great designs. Now is the time for the Adirondack\u2019s to catch up with the rest of society.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, someday soon, we\u2019ll be to answer the question; \u201cCan you hear me now?\u201d from Huletts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
