Drove by troop B Gray RCC today and saw COTE crane taking the new $900,000 275' freestanding tower down. Only guessing something must be wrong with the install? ka1shu

That actually is not the new tower. There were two towers that were at the Gray Site. The one you saw them taking down was the old tower.

good to know, thanks for the update.

Must of been a change of plans. An exert from the environmental assessment few years ago.
Construction of the new tower entails a total ground disturbance of approximately 10,000 square feet (.23
acre), as shown on the attached site plans. Harris Corporation and Jacobs Engineering have been contracted to perform the proposed tower construction and equipment installation for all of the MSCommNet sites, including the Gray location. Site preparation and tower construction is anticipated to take approximately 12-15 weeks. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will co-locate and install their own equipment and antennas at the site after the tower work has been completed. Existing buildings, roads, fencing and utility lines are incorporated into the project as much as possible, to reduce impact and additional expense. The existing tower still has useful life and will be retained; local approval through an ordinance change has been secured for this purpose.
