Verizon took a pause in asking for 5G tower installations in Fishers neighborhoods for several months, but that is about to change.  Mayor Scott Fadness says Verizon will be back with 5G tower approval requests before the Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety beginning in August.

City Attorney Chris Greisl told board members the meetings, which have been on Tuesdays at 3:00pm in recent months, will move to a 9am start time in August, at least through October.

Based on a meeting held with Homeowners Association (HOA) presidents and city officials June 30th, the following neighborhoods are next in line to have 5G towers installed:

Canyon Ridge

Cherry Hill Farms

Harrison Green

Harrison Woods

Lantern Farms

Lantern Overlook

Northfield Estates

Generally, the city has limited legal authority to change tower locations within a neighborhood, based on state and federal laws.  However, attempts to prevent towers from obstructing views and placing them in common areas wherever possible, can be made by city officials as part of the process.
