State OKs 140 foot antenna near Keedysville
The Board of Public Works approved a 140 foot antenna site on Red Hill Road near Keedysville for G S Communications expansion, despite local opposition and a prior dispute over a different Red Hill Road site. Residents with attorney Susan Elgin challenge the decision, arguing impact on the Antietam Battlefield and property values. The company says it pursued multiple sites and will seek county and state approvals, with potential federal action if needed.
