Centerville Concerned Citizens
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to protect our community from the unhealthy intrusion of a massive T-Mobile antenna array. The array was installed in a church steeple on historic Main Street Centerville in the spring of 2018. Nearby are old sea captain's homes, a busy playground and a library with daily-run children's programs. An elementary school sits just .3 tenths of a mile away. Our group has fought the completion and powering of this array for 2 1/2 years. The case eventually went to federal court, the ruling was made in favor of T-Mobile last month. Unfortunately our argument against the need for the tower was not heard in court. Our appeal to intervene is still ongoing so we do have the opportunity to fight this decision. At present, we are out of funds and in need of help. If successful, our victory would provide a ray of hope for other communities fighting similar battles. Residents are very vocal regarding the placement of these installations near homes or schools. It's a hard fight but we have the opportunity in Centerville to set a precedent that will benefit others. We've reached out to our community several times for donations and they have been wonderful. With the Covid crisis, our latest appeal isn't getting a similar response. We hope your organization finds our cause worthy of your financial assistance. Thank you!
