The town has discussed placing a hold on applications for 5G facilities until it studies the health ramifications and it can sort out what it can and can’t do, but that might place it in legal jeopardy.

The plan calls for the town to “Immediately work with cell service providers to develop and implement a plan to extend cell service access to the western areas of town using existing cell towers,” causing some to fear the effects of radiation from 5G equipment.

Those in opposition fear ill health effects from increased electromagnetic radiation.
