Cohasset Select Board defers cell tower decision pending legal review. Chair David Farrag and the five-member board heard public opposition to a proposed monopole tower in Wheelwright Park, with residents citing Article 97 trust restrictions and a town meeting vote favoring alternative locations. Speakers including Open Space Committee Chair Ginny LeClair, Fred Zotos, and Jennifer Chu argued that small cell technology already in use elsewhere renders the project obsolete and warned of potential legal costs.
The board voted unanimously to enter Executive Session and discuss counsel's opinion, then deferred the decision pending more legal information.
