According to Shandaken Supervisor Robert Cross Jr., there are
two responses to a request for proposals the town board sent out.
The RFP asks for plans and prices to build a cell tower at Glenbrook
Park. No contract has been awarded yet, Cross said, and whether
the town board decides to make a deal remains to be seen.
“I’m just one town board member,” Cross said
Saturday when asked if he had already made an agreement with one
of the firms.
