WILLIAMSPORT – A municipal zoning board in North Central Pennsylvania counters it did not violate federal law in denying Verizon the opportunity to build a cell phone communications tower, rather that the company did not meet the proper burden of proof for obtaining a necessary variance for the construction.
Cellco Partnership (doing business as “Verizon Wireless”) of Basking Ridge, N.J. first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Dec. 28 versus the White Deer Township Zoning Hearing Board, of New Columbia.
Verizon asserted it was given authorization by the Federal Communications Commission to operate a wireless communications system in Union Township and that in the White Deer Township area, there is currently a lack of strong signal strength and cellular service.

Authorities on Wednesday announced the arrest of a 52-year-old man in the deadly October shooting of 18-year-old Jason Albert Kutt in Nockamixon State Park.
Kenneth Troy Heller, 52, of Warminster, surrendered to authorities on Dec. 30, Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said. Clearly this isn’t a perfect ending,” he said. “Perfect would mean we have Jason back. But that’s just not how real life works, that’s not how criminal justice works, so this isn’t even really a happy ending, but it is a fair and a just and a final ending.”
Kutt, of Sellersville, was sitting with his girlfriend at the edge of the lake near the Old Ridge Road access to the park waiting for the sun to set with his girlfriend around 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 24.
