By Sara QuamRock County Commissioners gave approval Tuesday to convey land to either Beaver Creek Township or the city of Beaver Creek in order to get a Midwest Wireless cell phone tower in the dead zone along Interstate 90.Midwest Wireless wants to construct a new tower, but was denied its first request because of zoning issues with the city of Beaver Creek.A different location, on land owned by the county, could help the problem. The city of Beaver Creek will still have to approve a conditional use permit for the tower before it can be erected.The county’s only stipulations in donating the land are that the land be used for the tower and that the tower include a repeater for law enforcement communications. Along with those conditions, Hills-Beaver Creek School wants to reserve space for telecommunication equipment. County Administrator Kyle Oldre said, "They’re trying to meet a number of needs."Representatives of the county, school, city and township met with Midwest Wireless last week.The county gave approval for donating the land to either the township or city, depending on which government body wants it and can work with Midwest Wireless. The county doesn’t want to retain ownership of the land because in order to allow a tower on it, any company could bid and Midwest Wireless has an established need.
