A new wireless communications facility has gotten the go-ahead from the Henry County Zoning Advisory Board, which voted at its Sept. 9 regular meeting to approve the request. A conditional use is required for the RA-zoned (residential agricultural) property at 548 Seabolt Road on the northeast side of Locust Grove, where a 150-foot-high tower is to be erected on a 100-by-100-foot portion of the 97-acre total tract, about 300 feet off Seabolt Road and surrounded by wooded and pasture land.
Two neighboring residents spoke in opposition, citing potential health risks from living close to such a facility, but the applicant pointed out that it would be developed within FCC standards. The request was approved with staff conditions. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
