[wny-digital-equity-list] Does anyone know where this tower is going?

[Heidi Ziemer]

Thanks Courtney, great sleuthing!!

That area is a more remote part of East Amherst - what we could call
"rural" - and the story does mention this is also a problem in urban areas.
Also note the environmental concerns of these poles. Wonder what the state
has for guidelines on these. Will poke around.

Thanks,
Heidi
