d) Other technical reasons make co-location or adaptation unreasonable.
A minor special use permit has been approved for a monopole communications tower on a portion of Parcel J16-006. The applicant, S&S Assests LLC, received approval from the Sumter County Planning and Zoning Special Master on June 15, 2026.

Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, electrical, and site preparation trades should reach out to S&S Assests LLC or relevant county departments to learn more about upcoming opportunities as the project moves forward.
