5. The county shall have the right to install maintain and operate antennae

Commissioners - 4th Tuesday · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

Jackson County is planning to install and operate equipment for a county communications system on existing communications towers. This project involves placing antennae, amplifiers, and various cables, including fiber optic lines. The county will have the right to use these facilities, provided the installations do not disrupt the tower owner's property or operations. The county will cover any extra costs incurred by the tower owner due to the county's construction. This item is currently under review by the county commissioners. The work would likely involve site preparation on existing tower locations, installation of specialized communication equipment and cabling, and potentially some electrical and low-voltage system work. Contractors specializing in telecommunications infrastructure, electrical work, and site preparation could find opportunities. Early engagement with the county could provide insight into specific needs and timelines before formal bidding processes begin.
