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

Commissioners - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

Jackson County is considering a plan to install and maintain communication equipment on existing communication towers within the county. This proposal would allow the county to place antennae, amplifiers, coaxial cable, wire, and fiber optic cable on these towers. The county would cover any extra costs the tower owner faces due to this construction. This item is currently under review by the County Commissioners. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for equipment installation, potentially including minor construction or modifications to existing tower structures. Following that, there would be the installation of the communication equipment and related wiring. Finally, ongoing maintenance of the system would be required. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like electrical, low-voltage systems, and general construction to engage with the county and tower owners before final plans and permits are set. Early involvement could provide a competitive advantage for securing future work related to this communication system.
