Cell tower approved for Bountyland

Cell phone users are going to be able to rely on a 95-foot monopole tower to give them service in a central part of Oconee County.  The county’s Board of Zoning Appeals last night agreed to allow Verizon to place the tower at 1642 Blue Ridge Boulevard.  There, in the Bountyland Community, according to a representative speaking before the board last night, phone users get little or no service.
