This item concerns the potential removal of a tower by Highlands County. The County may remove the tower if the owner fails to do so within 180 days, as outlined in the County's Code. The property owner and tower owner/operator would be responsible for the County's direct costs for this removal. The County could place a lien on the property if removal costs exceed the bond or if the bond is invalid. This matter is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If removal proceeds, it could involve site preparation, demolition, and waste disposal services. Contractors specializing in demolition and site cleanup may find opportunities if the County undertakes this action. Early engagement with county staff could provide insight into the project's timeline and specific requirements.
