Residents of Scottsdale’s McCormick Ranch say AT&T’s proposed cell tower will “ruin” McDowell Mountain Park and they won’t let it happen without a fight.
“We will continue this fight until the end,” said Jane Myers, a board member of the McCormick Ranch Property Owners’ Association. “We believe the City Council should pay attention to its residents, not a commercial entity, and I know I’ve heard this may benefit some residents, but we cannot allow our park to be ruined for this small benefit.”
A group of McCormick Ranch residents met May 21 to share information about the potential impact of locating the cell tower in the park. They plan to flood council members with e-mails asking them to reject AT&T’s request, and to speak in opposition when the council reconsiders the request.
