New Cell Tower Coming to Clayton

Are you a frequent traveler of Highway 76 east? If so, your ride could be less stressful thanks to a permit that was passed by the Rabun County Commission earlier this week.

The Commission approved a request for a permit from Sky Towers, LLC, to construct a Verizon Wireless cell tower near Kingwood Country Club.

While providing cell service to the area is important, Commissioner Stephen Arbitter says that Kingwood could benefit from this as well, where more cell phone service provides those who host conferences there, to be able to conduct business in an easier matter.

The tower should begin construction within the year.
