No Cell Tower in Placitas

Proposed tower — as submitted

📏
75' Steel Cell Tower
  • More than TWICE AS TALL as the standard telephone pole.
  • TALLEST STRUCTURE IN PLACITAS
📍
First Impressions Matter
  • The proposed tower will be located near the entrance to Placitas.
  • A PERMANENT EYESORE AT OUR OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE on the lot at Tierra Madre and 165, next to The Merc.
🏠
Our Homes and Land Will Pay the Price
  • Studies show homes near cell towers LOSE ABOUT 10% OF THEIR AVERAGE VALUE.
📡
This Tower Will Not Fix Our Cell Signal
  • There are ALTERNATIVE SITES that will improve coverage and are less invasive.
  • We carry all the risk and the visual impact — they keep all the profit.
