Dear Mr. Kilgore,

I am writing to you to respectfully ask that AT & T consider locating on a tower at 3601 Shelton Road, Suches, Georgia.  Suches is an isolated area in the southern part of Union County some distance from the incorporated area of the county.  Much of the area is National Forest and very remote.  When the Verizon tower was built, people in that area were quite happy and expected that AT & T (Cingular at that time) would also choose to locate on the tower. 

There are many trails in the National Forest that takes hours for someone to report an injury or medical emergency on the trail.  Although we do have Verizon cell service in that area it would also be a tremendous help to have AT & T.  This would provide complete coverage and ensure the safety of our citizens.

Thank you for your attention to this issue and I hope that AT & T will choose to soon locate on the Shelton Road tower. If you have any questions, please call me at 706-439-6000.

Sincerely,

 

Lamar Paris
Commissioner

Union County, Georgia
