iii. Habitat loss. In addition to the requirements in Chapter 3, towers and support facilities

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed regulations for tower and support facility construction, focusing on minimizing habitat loss and fragmentation. Vertex has designed a 150-foot alternative tower that will not be guyed or lighted, aiming to reduce migratory bird risk and impact on the existing parcel. The proposal is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, this project would involve site preparation, construction of the tower and support facilities, and potentially road access and fencing modifications. Contractors specializing in site prep, grading, concrete, electrical, and general construction could be involved. Suppliers of building materials and related services would also be needed. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand the project scope and prepare for potential opportunities before final plans and permits are issued.
