Douglas County Tower Construction Delayed by Steel Shortage and Rain
The 180-foot communications tower project in Douglas County is held up as a steel reinforcing bar shipment is delayed and today’s rain floods the foundation site. Emergency preparedness coordinator Travis Brann says the crew will wait a few days to avoid a water-filled hole and may remove asphalt and cut concrete at the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center parking lot in preparation. The tower is planned for late August or early September and will serve as an emergency backup for law enforcement and other services if primary systems fail.
