GREEN RIVER — After a lot of discussion, the Green River City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to approve a Special Use Permit for Union Telephone Company to build an 80-foot cell tower on Uinta Drive.
Mayor Pete Rust and Councilman Jim Zimmerman were the two votes against the Special Use Permit, while Councilors Robert Berg, Mike Shutran, Sherry Bushman, George Jost, and Gary Killpack voted in favor. The Council previously tabled the resolution to provide time for the community to express opinions.
The tower will be located at 380 Uinta Drive, which Union employee Tyler Tholl said is the ideal location for the tower due to its proximity to the Hutton Heights area.
