Communication Towers Proposed


Koochiching County is being asked to help the Minnesota Department of Transportation with plans to set up a tower along the Rainy River.

Environmental Services Manager Dale Olson says MIN-DOT would like to use an existing tower owed by Boise, and has asked the County to assist in kicking starting failed talks.

Meantime, AT & T is pursuing plans to set up a tower to improve cell-phone service near Rainy Lake Houseboats.
