Negotiation of Tower Sites
Have you been approached by a cell company to place a tower on your community's property? Water towers, existing communication facility towers, and other types of existing public property are often attractive locations for cell company antennas.
If you've been contacted, you're already in a good position. Cell companies do some investigation before approaching property owners, so your site should already be considered well-suited for their needs. Unfortunately, however, the standard contracts offered by most cell companies are often very one-sided: The price the company first offers is typically at the low end of the market, for example, and extensive termination provisions can have a dramatic effect on how long a contract might last.
Our cable and communications pratice group is experienced in the negotiation of tower site agreements. We can review the proposal that has been made to your community and quickly offer suggestions for improvements, whether related to the overall value of the proposal or to other important provisions. Call us at (248) 723-0426 or fill in the "Contact Us" section on the firm's homepage and we will be in touch with you soon.
