New cell phone tower rising in downtown Moses Lake
MOSES LAKE — The white metal frame going up at the corner of W. Broadway Avenue and S. Cedar Street is a new cell phone tower. In a filing with the Federal Communications Commission from August 2021, New York-based Tillman Infrastructure, which owns the tower, expects the total tower height — including the electronic gear at the top — at 18.3 meters, or just over 60 feet. However, without the receiving and transmitting equipment on top — called “appurtenances” in the FCC registration — the tower height is expected at 13.7 meters, or just under 45 feet. That’s the height AT&T, which will provide service through the tower, stated in a permit application submitted to and approved by the City of Moses Lake, according to the findings of a hearing examiner from March 2021.
