Attorneys for Verizon, Pittsfield officials push back in cell tower dispute

Work is continuing at the site of a planned Verizon cell tower in the Shacktown neighborhood off Holmes Road in Pittsfield. A fence has since been placed around the site, but the monopole has yet to be installed.

PITTSFIELD — As a Pittsfield judge considers whether to halt a planned cell tower, attorneys for city officials and Verizon Wireless are defending the project's review.

It's been more than a month since Judge Maureen Hogan heard a neighborhood's plea that property owners were not properly notified about a 115-foot monopole the company seeks to erect near a water tower in the Shacktown area off Holmes Road.
