Cell Tower Pending Approval for Mountain Rest

A cell tower request for Mountain Rest is pending. The area of rural Oconee County is notorious for not having good cell phone reception.

Attorneys from a Charleston law firm are asking for approval of a 250′ tower on SC-107 near the SC 28/Highlands Highway turn. Current county rules require an exception for any tower above 75 feet in height.

Public comments regarding the new cell tower will be accepted at the next county board of zoning appeals meeting on Monday, September 28 at 6:00 pm at the County Administration Complex in Walhalla.
