Small Cell Wireless Attachments

In May 2019, MEUW's Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee on Small Cell Wireless Attachments with the goal of developing standardized pole-attachment agreements and a model ordinance municipalities could use in negotiations with small cell wireless providers. The committee engaged the Boardman & Clark law firm to provide services for this effort.
