Policy 9: Telecommunication facilities can be a potential source of revenue for the Town. Recommendations 9.1 Where appropriate, the Town should pursue lease agreements with telecommunication companies on designated publicly owned properties that meet coverage needs. 9.2 The Town may want to consider limiting the number of facilities on publicly owned properties to one per property, but with that one telecommunication facility get the best lease agreement possible and preserve the aesthetics of the property.
