Relocation of cell tower plan for Dogwood Elementary School

The Issue

The City of Germantown is proposing to add a 3G/4G/5G cell tower on the Dogwood Elementary School campus. The proposed tower could be located as close as 141 feet from the building, which is closer than most standards recommend. As concerned parents, we would like the mayor, aldermen, and school board members to pause this process, take a hard look at the most recent data, and find a new off campus location for this tower. We understand the need for better service in this area, but we feel that the school campus is a poor choice of location. Although there are parties on both sides that will debate the health concerns/effects of being this close to a cell tower, we wholeheartedly believe it is not worth the unknown risk to the children and staff that we care so much about. If you have any doubt or concern about how the process came about or where they chose to place the tower, please consider signing this petition so your voice can be heard.
