T-Mobile has sued an NJ town for not letting it build a tower on the land it has leased for over a decade from a school.
T-Mobile has sued the Borough of Wanaque, New Jersey for not letting it install a wireless telecommunications facility including a monopole tower on a site that it has been paying a lease on for about 14 years.
T-Mobile notes that the facility is crucial for meeting telecommunication demands and remedying a gap in wireless service in the area. It was denied a permit to construct a 120-foot cell tower with a 10-foot lightning rod on the land it has been leasing for over a decade from the Lakeland Regional High School.
The company says that the borough and its planning board have based their decision upon the adverse environmental effects of radio frequency emissions, which makes the rejection illegal.
