Green River Star - July 22, 2021 Despite concerns voiced by some residents regarding the impact to local viewsheds, the Green River City Council voted to allow Union Wireless to build an 80-foot lattice-style cell tower in a small, vacant lot near Ace Hardware and the Green River Post Office. The vote was not unanimous as Councilman Jim Zimmerman and Mayor Pete Rust voted against the proposal. Zimmerman, who lives near the site proposed by Union Wireless, said neighbors he talked to during his evening walks were in opposition to the tower, citing disapproval with how the tower would raise over the trees and buildings in the neighborhood. A former telecommunications worker, Zimmerman also believes voting the tower down would not kill Union Wireless’ interest in Green River.
