Park Clarifies Position On Cell Tower

Voyageurs National Park and its Park Association are clarifying statements made in a letter over AT&T plans to install a cellphone tower near the park.

The Koochiching County Board, which gave approval to the tower in August, took the letter as a threat.

The Association's Jody Tableporter says that wasn't the intent.

She says they support the County decision to limit the height of the tower to 199 feet thus minimizing any impact to the park.

The AT&T is building the tower with the ability to expand higher.
