At the meeting, a resolution was passed opposing House Bill 1620, the Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Bill, which would prohibit the township from regulating cell towers within the right of way. When the towers come into the right of way, supervisors said, they rip up roads and then the township is responsible for maintenance.
