The size and the location of the proposed tower is inappropriate for Worcester. It will be extremely intrusive to the scenic character of the town and to the neighbors who will have to live adjacent/under it. The developer has ignored the town ordinances and has not provided adequate information to the community and seems to have little interest in doing so.

This proposed call tower is:
an eyes-sore, intrusive, and obstructs the view-shed, especially of the Ellis-Bruce Trail.
too close to neighboring homes.
out of compliance with the Worcester's Ordinance on Cell Towers and Town Plan.

There appears to be little to no upside for the town and a LOT of downside.

I agree with the comments posted so far; there should be far more community input and consensus at the initial stages of a project of this magnitude. The lack of relevant information needed for people to understand the impact of this proposal is concerning and does not suggest the developer is taking the interests of the community into account.

It is disturbing that the developer won't tell us what the proposed cell coverage of this very large tower will be.

I agree with many of the comments, particularly that this is a top-down approach which did not take Worcester residents or the town plan into consideration. This act denies Vermont's long history of giving authentic power and voice to its towns and their residents, and instead puts outside corporate interests first. The health concerns supported by peer reviewed, scientific evidence are significant. It is also troubling that, while Gov Scott hopes to grant internet access to all Vermonters, the cost of internet (streaming) via cell service (as compared to internet from better land lines), is prohibitive for many and will ultimately exclude those who can't afford it.

This tower has very little, if anything to offer toward the betterment of our community.

There are other options available for coverage along this corridor that all can live with. This quick and easy route doesn’t work for me nor the neighbors it will directly hurt.

The application is lacking in information sufficient for the Town or the PUC to weigh the potential benefits of the proposed tower, e.g. what will the service area be?

A cell tower is a big deal for a small town like Worcester. We need a process to establish 1) who our cell tower should serve and then 2) what solution best satisfies that need. The current "proposal" is rushed, inconsiderate, and opaque. In other words, it feels shady and rude. There are better ways to promote progress.
