That sounds very good – - – - except we live down on Pineville Road and our current service in really really bad!!! If they do put that tower at the location in this article it will not be able to increase our communications ability at all!!!! At the present time we have to have a land line (on the wiring installed in the area about 60 years ago with no upgrades!!!) to have a router to enable a wifi to use our cell phone. If the local phone lines go down we have no means of communicating what so ever!!!!

Yes! This is the best news. The kids whine about the cell phone connection constantly when heading up to see family. We really need this. Thank you!

Please, let’s all move “forward” and “together” in this cellular tower project, It’s not a luxury for anyone but an absolute necessity for everyone! In addition, it was a wise decision in selecting this particular location. This will enable the maximum benefit of communication service for this area!
Dear friends, let’s all work in unison to expedite this process. Everyone, including our “First Responders” & their recipients, needs this!
I’m thanking you in advance!

This will be a much needed asset for our rural communications networks; sure hope it goes through.

Much needed as Escambia population moves north. Many people dont have a landline anymore and need reliable communications especially for emergency response. Unfortunately with growth comes needed technology and others may not want to spoil an area with a tall tower. this is a great area for a tower, in a rural farmland site, away from a subdivision full of people that it cant hinder a view, only a cow or two.

Its nice to see residents of the north end of the county being included for a change. Looking forward to improved service. Truly needed in this area.

This is badly needed for the area. Sounds like the tower location and details have been well planned and thought out. I think area residents will be glad to have better wireless communucation service. Seems to be a win-win for the area.
