MILTON LOOKS TO ADD CELL TOWER:

Can you hear me now?

For many town residents with cell phones, the answer would be no.

Milton has no cell phone tower, but that could soon change, Supervisor Frank Thompson said at Wednesday night's Town Board meeting.

Negotiations are under way with an unnamed company to construct a cell phone tower in the shape of a silo on Town Center property on Geyser Road.

'A silo would fit in here. It looks like a farming apparatus,' Thompson said. The silo would be attached to a barn-style shed.

'We're battling over revenues, which could be up to $4,500 a month. I believe I'll hear something by next month,' Thompson said.
