Dear Residents of Abbot Mill,

This Wednesday night July 15th at 7:00pm at Town Hall Meeting Room 201 (55 Main Street Westford MA 01886) there is a Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on Abbot Mill’s application for a Special Permit to allow AT&T to install a cell antenna on our chimney.

This hearing is necessary because the Building Inspector denied AT&T's original application, saying a Special Permit is required. He also said the Board would approve the Permit, but on Friday the town staff issued the a report which essentially recommends denying the application. They do this by adding requirements that will be difficult and expensive to meet.

It has been explained repeatedly that cell reception is weak in Forge Village and Abbot Mill needs this antenna, but the town does not seem to be listening.

We are asking that any Abbot Mill Resident who is able to go to the hearing, do so and let the Board know this is important. It could make all the difference if individuals join in.

Please sign this petition if you would like to help Abbot Mill add the AT&T cell antenna to our smokestack for better cell phone reception and coverage.

Thank you for your support!
