Morrisville Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Master Plan

telecommunication facility, site upgrade, etc. by an outside consultant working on

behalf of the Town.

8.2 The Town should coordinate with Wake County to update its property assessment

records to ensure that telecommunication facilities are fully valued as site

improvements, with the town receiving appropriate tax revenue from them.

8.3 The Town should research the potential to generate compensation from companies

attaching telecommunication equipment to Duke Energy streetlight poles within the

Town’s publicly maintained road rights‐of‐way.

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.
