After first referring to the Ordinance Committee a request to propose amendments that would add wireless infrastructure as a use to the Zoning Ordinance on May 10, 2021, the Town Council unanimously approved the Wireless Amendments at the Monday, December 13 meeting.  The new ordinance combines adding "essential services" as a permitted use in all zoning districts, as well as allowing for the installation of telecommunication antennas and support equipment on existing telephone poles.  

The two changes were combined into one package on August 9 by the council when they voted to forward the proposed amendments to the Planning Board [Article].  The Planning Board reviewed the drafted amendments during a September 7 workshop and later held a public hearing on October 19; this concluded with the board forwarding the amendments to the Town Council.  The Town Council voted to set the amendments to a public hearing and potential vote during their November 8 meeting.
